IFCAE Nontimber Forest Product Publications

The following list represents publications authored or co-authored by IFCAE Partners, visiting scholars, or consultants working under the auspices of IFCAE.

IMPORTANT DOWNLOADING INFORMATION: Where the publications are available as free downloads a link is provided at the end of the reference. Many of the digital files are large so the following procedure is recommended to avoid downloading problems:

1) DO NOT LEFT CLICK ON THE LINK DOWNLOAD LINK. If you do your browser will try to open the document it might freeze because large PDFs can take a long time to load.

2) Instead, hover above the download link with your mouse pointer and right click. This should bring up a mouse menu where you can select SAVE TARGET AS (Internet Explorer), or SAVE LINK AS (Firefox). If you use another browser check the help menu to determine how to download files.

3) Once you make a selection a window should pop up asking you where you want to save your file download. Choose a place on your computer where you can easily find the file (e.g., desktop). If no window pops up then you may have a default location for downloads. The options menu on your browser should indicate where that location is.
