"The startling message of this book is that the so-called virgin forests of the world owe
much to their symbiotic relationship with the indigenous peoples who live in and on the
margins of the forests. Examples of forests are taken from Asia, Africa and South America,
thus reflecting the global nature of the phenomenon. The books conclusions will have
far-reaching implications for all who are concerned with the conservation of forests and
their indigenous human population."
