Here, Mathews describes Mexico's efforts over the past hundred years to manage its forests through forestry science and biodiversity conservation. He shows that transparent knowledge was produced by encounters between the relatively weak forestry bureaucracy and the indigenous people who manage and own the pine forests of Mexico. |
