The world's forests are disappearing at an alarming rate, and with
disastrous consequences. Demand for wood and paper products ranks
high amongst the causes of deforestation and forest degradation,
and is now the major cause of loss in those forests richest in
wildlife. There is a great deal to be done to improve the timber
industry before our forests are safely and sustainably managed. Bad
Harvest presents an incisive account of the role that the timber
trade has played in the loss and degradation of forests around the
world. It examines the environmental consequences of the trade on
boreal, temporal and tropical regions, and its impacts for local
people working and living in the forests. It also looks at the
changing nature of the trade, and assesses current national and
international initiatives to address the impacts of deforestation.
Finally, the authors show how things could be improved in the
future, by presenting a new strategy for sustainable forest
management. Based on 15 years of extensive research - particularly
work carried out by the World Wide Fund for Nature - Bad Harvest is
essential reading on the subject; not only for environmentalists,
but also for those in the timber trade seeking to improve the
management and reputation of their product.
