Abstract
An incentives approach has been advocated to create linkages between conservation and the economic interests of local people. The theory behind this approach is that generation of income from local forests can provide a positive incentive for sustainable use and can thus contribute to conservation. This article will explore some experiences with this incentives approach, applied to NTFPs, in Asia.
