Abstract:	"One way for small-scale forest producers to gain increased economic power is through the formation of cooperative enterprises. But operating a successful forestry cooperative requires more than just a pooling of assets and a sharing of the profits; it takes dedicated leadership, trained management and clear objectives. Based on his own extensive experience in the management of forestry cooperatives in Scandinavia, the author of this article sets out some fundamental requirements for organizing and managing forestry cooperatives as they might be applied in the developing world."
