How can those working in the field offer adequate support to rural, mostly indigenous producers in forest areas? How do we develop practices that promote ecosystem health while considering local interests? The lessons we’ve learned so far within the IKI project Forest Values are presented in this publication and should enable subsequent projects to optimize their measures. The insights are divided into two categories: DO's: What has worked well in the ForestValues project? and DON'Ts: What have we learned to avoid? For each category, we provide a checkbox for application in the field.
