Tropical forest management is facing new challenges. New actors and partnerships for the conservation and sustainable management of forests have been formed and are operating at multiple scales. These new global-local partnerships received an impulse through: globalisation, which connects local communities with international actors such as environmental NGOs and research organisations lending support to sustainable forest use; and localisation (i.e. decentralisation, democratisation, devolution of power and political autonomy for indigenous people), which creates new actors in environmental management.Dealing with these questions, the articles in this issue are organised under several headings. These include:Globalisation, Localisation and Tropical Forest Management: introducing the challenge of new markets and new partnershipsThe Feasibility of Payments for Ecosystem ServicesOpportunities for Forest Markets to Benefit Local Low-Income ProducersGreeting (Trans)National Logging Companies? Strategies to Combat Illegal and Unsustainable LoggingCertification and Tropical ForestryLinking Global Conservation Objectives and Local Use of Forest and Wildlife ResourcesGlobal-Local Partnerships for Conservation and Sustainable Forest Use: A Latin American PerspectiveThe Impact of Decentralisation on Forest Resources ManagementA Learning Perspectives on PartnershipsIn Collaborative Forest Management.
