This publication comprises two parts:
PART 1: Natural Wealth - a desk study about the opportunities and challenges to link poverty reduction with forest conservation in Lao PDR to help meet national development goals.
PART 2: Bitter Bamboo and Sweet Living - a description of the impacts of NTFP conservation activities on poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods.
