  abstract = {{M}ost people in forest and rural areas manage trees as part of their livelihood systems. {T}he resulting "domestic" or "rural" forests are distinct from conventional forest. {T}hey have historically been overlooked by the forestry sector and impacted by forest policies and regulatory frameworks. {T}hese forests presently encounter requalification and valuation dynamics, fueled by a sustainable development ideology, and induced by both public powers and local communities. {T}hese dynamics move in two different directions: the naturalization of rural forests by policy makers, and their politization by rural people. {W}e draw on long-term research experiences in {F}rance, {M}orocco, {S}outheast {A}sia, and {A}frica on forests managed by "farmers", among which some are analyzed in the {E}cology and {S}ociety {F}eature, {P}ublic policies and management of rural forests: lasting alliance or fool's dialogue?. {W}e first elaborate on domestication, analyzed at tree, ecosystems and landscape levels, as a concept allowing for a better understanding of the specific relationships developed between rural people and forests. {W}e then engage in a critical review of how forest-related and sustainable development policies consider rural forests, and discuss how they address (or do not address) their specificity and encourage (or do not encourage) their development.},
