The question of sustainable forestry is one that has both socioeconomic and environmental/biological aspects. If you're interested in these things, you might want to look at a journal such as Forest Ecology and Management and, in particular, at an article in Vol.256, No.7, which deals specifically with sustainable forestry in the Brazilian Amazon.
If, once you've opened the article, you scroll down to Section 5.2, you'll find a discussion of extractive reserves in Rondonia, one of the Brazilian states we'll be visiting. (Indeed, the concept of extractive reserves is one you should all be familiar with before we arrive.) You might also want to browse elsewhere in this long article.

forestry and sustainable development
A report by the International Institute for Environment and Development on forests and forest-based livelihoods can be found here.
It covers a wider range of territory than our area of immediate interest but, for those of you who plan on digging deeper into forest-related topics when we're in the MAP region, this report may provide some valuable background.
