(Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ) Village communities in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia and South America have not been using local forest resources as sustainably as is often assumed. This is the conclusion of a study published by scientists from the Helmholtz UFZ together with CIFOR and Wageningen University. According to the study, in 90 percent of the 233 villages analyzed at least one forest product such as firewood, timber, food or animal feed has declined over five years.
