DG 12 MUYS). The main focus of this project was to compare the benefits, constraints and evolutionary trajectories of existing models of forest resource management, namely extraction of plant products from the wild, production in various forms of agroforest ry systems, and intensive production in specialized systems. The research was c onducted in Indonesia and the Philippines between January 1997 and December 2000. It involved eight research institutions and NGOs in these two countries, in addition to France, Norway and Spain. â?¢ An international comparative analysis of cases of NTFP commercialization, led by CIFOR. This project investigated the characteristics of products and their production, processing and trade to understand the role of NTFP commercialization in achieving conservation and livelihoods improvement.
