| Bosque del Pueblo, Puerto Rico: How a fight to stop a mine ended up changing forest policy from the bottom up |

Policy That Works for Forests and People (series) 12
This study tells the inspirational story of how a small community based organisation in the mountains of Puerto Rico became a driving force for a bottom up process of policy change that has reshaped the way the country’s forest resources are perceived and managed. At the most basic level, it is a story about the creation and management of a new forest reserve in Puerto Rico, the Bosque del Pueblo, or the People’s Forest. But it is also a larger story, one of tenacity, wise choices, some mistakes and plenty of courage. It documents the results of a process of self-reflection carried out by the story’s chief protagonist, an organisation called Casa Pueblo and facilitated by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute. |

| Los impactos de la certification sobre los bosques, los grupos de interés y la cadena de abast ecimiento Instrumentos para la silvicultura sustentable |

A la gente le gustan los bosques - tienen muchas ligazones emocionales y culturales. También le gustan los productos forestales - y los necesitan en cantidades recientes. Pero a menudo no les gusta, no entienden o no confian en lo que viene de pro medio: la gestión forestal, la cual se encuentra en las interfaces de los servicios públicos (biodiversidad, cuencas, etc.) y los bienes privados (madera, alimentos, etc.). Se creó la certificatión para verificar independientemente la calidad de la gestión forestal, para comunicarles esto a los jugadores del mercado, y de esa manera mejorar los beneficios de mercado para los productos de una buena gestión. La influencia creciente del Forest Stewardship Council es uno de los avances recientes y más impactantes en materia forestal. La certificatión es cada vez más común en todos los continentes. Pero, en rigor, ¿ha mejorado la gestión forestal realmente? ¿Ha creado suficientes incentivos de mercado? Sobre todo, ha habilitado oportunidades para que se desarrolle la confianza entre os actores, para que puedan trabajar mejor juntos, para construir las instituciones requeridas para una gestion forestal sustentable? Este libro es el resultado de un estudio de dos años desarrollado por el IIED y sus colaboradores en varios países: ofrece evidencia para realizar cambios considerables tanto de politica, como institucionales como resultado de la certificación, y da cuenta del inicio de los cambios en la práctica forestal y de mercado.
