PUBLICATIONS: New Analyses by the Rights and Resources Initiative
The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) has released several new strategic analyses covering a wide range of topics including the intersection of rights and conflict, "rethinking forest regulations," the state of Liberian forestry sector management, and China's recent forest land reforms. And in reaction to the renewed attention on forests in 2009, RRI has produced an "annual report" on the status of rights and resources globally - and the issues that affected them - in 2009. The report is designed to both review the status and issues of 2009 and also preview what to watch for in 2010.
