DESCRIPTION
The case studies in this book are authoritative analyses of the extent to which applied scientific and economic information can lead to sustained yields of crops and timber from forest lands in Asia and the Pacific. They also contribute to a better understanding of the actual problems of site management in forestry and watershed rehabilitation projects. The studies from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Nepal, Sri-Lanka, India and the Philippines show how and why procedures succeed or fail in achieving policy goals and demonstrate clearly that determined efforts are necessary and worthwhile to conserve the productive capacity of forest lands.
