Multiple forest use through commercial sport hunting: Lessons from a community-based model from the Petén, Guatemala
This is a well written, clear article about a successful CBNRM program focussed on sustainable sports hunting in a multipurpose resource management environment. It covers the dimensions of NWP: the characteristic of the resource base; the economic and benefit distribution elements of the activity; and the management, social and governance dimensions. Inspite of some bureaucratic constraints significant income has been generated in partnership with the private secor and others. It concludes that "sports hunting can offer profitable and sustainable forest product diversification alternatives".
