This ethnographic study documents the competing ideas about how to manage a forest - or even what a forest is - and considers the role of ethical trade initiatives in creating sustainable, survivable global futures. Through a case study of the global connections between Chilean landscapes and Northern consumers embodied in the Forest Services Council, the book explores what knowledges and values are expressed or silenced when sustainability is defined and pursued through market mechanisms.
