Grounded in the perspective of political ecology, contributors to this volume approach forests as socially alive spaces produced by a confluence of local histories and global circulations. In doing so, they collectively explore the multiple ways in which these forests come into view and therefore into being. Exploring the local dynamics within and around these forests provides an insight into regional issues that have global resonance. Intertwined as they are with cosmological beliefs and livelihoods, as sites of biodiversity and Western desire, these forests have been and are still being transformed by the interaction of foreign and local entities. Focusing on case studies from Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and the Gambier Islands, this volume brings new perspectives on how Pacific Islanders continue to creatively engage with the various processes at play in and around their forests. 410 0$aAsia-Pacific environment monograph ;$v10. 606 $aRain forests$zOceania 606 $aForest conservation$zOceania 606 $aForests and forestry$zOceania 606 $aHuman ecology$zOceania 610 $aoceania 610 $atropical forests 610 $apolitical ecology 610 $aanthropology 610 $aDeforestation 610 $aKamula language 610 $aLogging 610 $aLumber 610 $aReducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation 615 0$aRain forests 615 0$aForest conservation 615 0$aForests and forestry 615 0$aHuman ecology 676 $a577.34 700 $aBell$b Joshua A$4auth$01337705 702 $aBell$b Joshua A. 702 $aWest$b Paige 702 $aFiler$b Colin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131523603321 996 $aTropical forests of Oceania$93057320 997 $aUNINA
