TL;DR: Community forestry refers to forest management that has ecological sustainability and local community benefits as central goals, with some degree of responsibility and authority for forest management formally vested in the community as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize literature about traditional and local ecological knowledge and forest management in the Pacific Northwest to evaluate what is needed to accomplish this goal, and they argue that integrating traditional and locally ecological knowledge into forest biodiversity conservation is most likely to be successful if the knowledge holders are directly engaged as active participants in these efforts.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework of human wellbeing is proposed to guide the development of indicators and a complementary social science research agenda for ecosystem-based management, and four major social science-based constituents of wellbeing: connections, capabilities, conditions, and cross-cutting domains.

TL;DR: While the evaluation results were mixed, in general, community members who were most informed about and involved in the cleanup process at Superfund sites generally were also the most satisfied with the community involvement process, and the job that EPA was doing cleaning up the site.

TL;DR: It is found that NIPF owners who perceived a risk of wildfire to their properties, and perceived that conditions on nearby public forestlands contributed to this risk, were more likely to have cooperated with public agencies in the past to reduce fire risk than owners who did not perceive a risk.
