Much of the world's tropical timber is still supplied from natural
forest, but under current systems of management the forests are
rapidly becoming exhausted. Unless management practices change to
become genuinely sustainable, neither the forests nor the essential
contribution of the timber industry to many economies will survive.
Duncan Poore reviews the extent to which natural forests are
already being sustainably managed for timber production, and looks
at how these practices can be enlarged. He places management for
timber in the wider context of tropical forest conservation and
outlines a strategy for further action. Thoroughly researched and
accessibly written, this book will be useful for everyone working
or interested in the subject of tropical forests. Foreword by Dato
Dr B.C.Y. Freezailah Originally published in 1989
This is the history of the International Tropical Timber
Organization (ITTO); its aims, policies and achievements, through
drawing on contemporary records and the author's own wide
experience. The book uses examination of past successes and
failures to formulate a 21st-century agenda for the most practical
ways of improving the management of forests and deciding forest
policies.
