  The work described arises from two large scale projects supported by (amongst others) The World Bank, UNDP, UNEP and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF).The Sumatran study was conducted as part of the Forest Ecosystem Management research program at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR, www.cifor.org), Bogor, Indonesia in collaboration the Alternatives to Slash and Burn program (ASB), implemented by the World Agroforestry Centre (www.worldagroforestry.org). ASB was established in 1992 to halt destructive forms of shifting cultivation and promote sustainable land management at tropical forest margins (Palm et al. 2005; Sanchez et al. 2005). In Brazil, Promoting Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in the Frontier Forest of Northwestern Mato Grosso was established in 2000 to reconcile socioeconomic development with biodiversity conservation in an integrated landscape containing intact primary forest, corridors of secondary regrowth, forest plantations and intensive agrisilvipasture (Global Environmental Facility 2000). The Mato Grosso sites are included in the project benchmarks, where work is supported by Mato Grosso State Foundation for the Environment, Mato Grosso State Corporation for Rural Technical Assistance and Extension (www. empaer.mt.gov.br), Brazilian Corporation for Agricultural and Livestock Research (www.embrapa.br/english), and World Agroforestry Centre. Brazilian sites are listed by PN number (Pró-Natura, www.pronatura.org).
