Abstract
This article discusses the ways the Ticuna of Colombia adaptively transformed their traditional swidden-fallow land use practice to benefit from emerging market opportunities in timber and forest products. It argues that a shift from subsistence-based to maket-directed use of renewable natural resources may lower the ecological and economic stablity of Ticuna society.
