"Living with tropical forests”, New CIRAD book

What could be more complex than the rainforest and the relationships humans forge with it ? However, or rather for this reason, the clichés, the shortcuts, the misunderstandings and even misinterpretation abound in speeches too readily simplistic.

The objective of this book, designed and written by a team of researchers, is on the contrary, without jargon or condescension, to account for the respective overlaps between humans and tropical forests. Only by taking into account these interdependencies that we can hope to save the joint future of humans and forests. Also, the ambition of this book is to enter the forest with them, not to give up on the edge ...

The authors of this book belong to the Forests and Societies research unit of the Center for International Cooperation in Agronomic Research for Development (CIRAD). These researchers come from multiple disciplines, from ecology to anthropology, and are familiar with large tropical forest regions, whose landscapes they know as well as the people.

The book is organized around three parts dealing with the specificities of the three continents tropical (Africa, America and Asia), preceded by a general presentation of forests tropical and followed by a set of perspectives for the forests and the peoples therein live. We have, for each subject mentioned, chosen to deliver a particular message without falling into the encyclopedia trap.
