Description
Summary:New forms of management and new uses of public forest are presently emerging. These new practices surface while Aboriginal peoples, and other civil society actors, are requesting more participation in decision-making processes concerning forest use. These demands are voiced while forestry policies are undergoing significant changes. These two phenomena jointly create a new context where partnerships including diverse actors (municipalities, band council, tourism entrepreneurs, forestry companies etc.) are emerging. This article analyses the case of the “Forêt de l’Aigle” in Anishinabeg territory, in the Outaouais region (Québec). In conclusion of this study we will suggest that social diversity in forest governance is as important to forest survival as the protection of biodiversity itself.
