Project Overview The manual addresses the shortage of technical information available on the drafting, content, and implementation of wild products regulations. It provides a framework for understanding the diverse issues and elements that combine to create effective law and policy for wild products, such as mushrooms, berries, barks, and nuts. The manual features 12 chapters that examine experiences with regulating wild products, using the lens of a particular geographic area, species, or issue (eg taxation, labor law, institutional capacity). Chapters from countries and regions include: Bolivia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, China, Finland and Sweden, India, Mexico, The Philippines, Southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
