Abstract
Rattans of Myanmar is the result of a 14-year collaborative effort between the New York Botanical Garden, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Myanmar Program, and the Forest Department of the Myanmar Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC) to promote the conservation and sustainable use of one of the most valuable and widely used non-timber forest products in the world. This volume is a valuable contribution to palm systematics, community forestry, sustainable resource use, and to all of the stakeholders involved with rattan in Myanmar.
This book will help you identify rattans and will give you a greater understanding of how rattans grow and maintain themselves in the forest. It is our hope that the Rattans of Myanmar will provide an incentive for further botanical exploration, collection, and documentation of local rattans, and will eventually form the foundation of more sustainable systems for exploiting wild rattan populations. We thank you for your interest in the rattans of Myanmar and hope you find this book useful.
