Abstract

This chapter is devoted to a number of topics which have either attracted particular political attention or which would otherwise have had to be split among several of the other chapters. The topics are: forest protection (against encroachment, disease, fire etc.), the concept of ‘biomass’, wood and energy, tropical moist forest, forestry in support of rural community development, agroforestry and farm forestry.
