It brings to our readers an edited selection of some of the position papers of the important 4th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry Development in the Tropics and, in doing, this, it emphasizes FAO's principal concern in the field of forestry: how to make the best and wisest use of man's least understood ecological formation, the moist tropical forest.

    Forestry and environment 1990
    Also available in:
    The growing concern for the environment has been paralleled by or even outdistanced by preoccupation with the future of the world's forest resources; commitment to the principles of the Tropical Forestry Action Plan by more than 70 developing countries is strong testimony. In this issue, Unasylva examines a number of aspects of the relationship between forestry and the environment. One of the most widely discussed environmental issues is the prospect of global climate change. K. Andrasko, a part icipant in a recent FAO Expert Consultation on forests and climate change, considers the current state of understanding about this complex interrelationship. A related article by B. Kyrklund explores the potential of industrial forestry to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.
