    Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, this book explores how the indigenous Lenca community of La Campa, Honduras, has conserved and transformed their communal forests through the experiences of colonialism, opposition to state-controlled logging, and the recent adoption of export-oriented coffee production. The book merges political ecology, collective-action theories, and institutional analysis to study how the people and forests have changed through various transitions.

    From the reviews: “A principal argument in the book is that the community’s relative success in maintaining forests is due to institutional factors that have been found elsewhere to lead to successful common property management … . Changing Forests is intended for environmental scientists and policymakers, conservationists, social foresters, ecological and environmental anthropologists and economists, sociologists, geographers, development analysts, and Latin America specialists. … It is particularly important for those concerned with collective action and common property and is a worthy addition to libraries … .” (Patricia L. Howard, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 29 (4), November, 2009)
