Among the various strategies to combat poverty and marginalize many forest-dependent communities, one approach has been to maintain partnerships with timber or forest products companies based on the theory that companies receive a reliable supply of wood while communities receive development benefits and economic benefits. These cooperation agreements can include different actors (smallholder farmers, communities, associations, etc.) and range from a formal transfer of ownership to structured benefit-sharing.
