Public participation also provides an opportunity for the improvement of the quality of information, public debate, personal reflection, and professionalization, raising awareness. Participation in forestry implies the involvement of stakeholders (the interest group participation approach) and/or the involvement of people (the direct citizen participation approach) in the decision-making process. Since the UN Conference on Environment and Development (1992), new norms and perspectives have emerged encouraging a bottom-up approach in forest governance. Consequently, several participatory techniques, methods, and tools for stakeholder involvement in forest governance have been developed and applied. These different experiences allow us to learn from failures and successes and contribute to knowledge improvement. The future challenges of participatory forestry deal with adaptation to changes in ecological, social, and economic contexts.Participatory Forestryforest planninggreen space quality assessmentforest management practiceforest degradationurban treesSloveniaparticipatory processtransdisciplinary researchdeliberative-analytical processpanarchy theoryparticipatory forumsclimate changecommunity forestryempathetic utility functionssmallholderquestionnaire surveyBritish ColumbiaGhanacocoaparticipatoryentrepreneurial educationNatura 2000deforestationsocial assessmentclimate change mitigationstakeholder analysissocial network analysissocial forestryREDD+photographyparticipationinterviews surveydiffusiontraditional knowledgeforest carbonAI decision-making algorithmsstakeholdersparticipatory modelinginnovative trainingstakeholders’ involvementappraisalslash-and-burn agriculturepublic opinionuser participationpublic participationsummer-winterforest multifunctionalitypreferencescommunity-based forest managementforest managementurban woodland managementnational forest policy frameworkperceptionsforest governancestakeholder engagementforest historyrole-playing gamesassessment of sustainabilitymanagement programforestry trainingPaletto AlessandroFI-LUTBOOK9910367568703321Participatory Forestry: Involvement, Information and Science3020301UNINA
