The papers published in this volume were presented at a workshop organized by the IUCN Sustainable Use Initiative (SUI) during the first World Conservation Congress in late 1996. The first section of this Volume includes several thought provoking papers on broad issues pertaining to sustainable use. Three subsequent sections include papers from workshop sessions organized by Regional Specialist Groups on artisanal fisheries, community-based management of forests and managing wildlife for sustainable use.
