This training package examines conflict within forest resource use and community-based forest management and offers strategies for managing it. In forest resource management, conflict in its many forms is inevitable and unavoidable. Most people working in community forestry would say that conflict comes with the territory. Forest resources are central to the social, cultural, political and economic fabric of forest communities.
