Book Description
Representing five years of work on global forest-sector modeling by a network of over 100 scientists and forest managers, this is the first book of its kind on forest-modeling methods and results. Paying special attention to economic aspects, it provides state-of-the-art exposition on forest-sector modeling, detailed information on the global forest sector, plus extensive documentation of the IIASA global forest sector model. Includes discussions on forest resources and timber supply, modeling of forest products manufacturing and demand, details on international trade in forest products, and recent advances in the modeling trade. Also examines implementation of modeling methods described earlier in the book, and results of a set of scenario runs based on the model.

Book Description
This paper demonstrates the contribution of the forestry sector to national economies at the global, regional and country levels. It presents the status and trends of the forestry sector's contribution (total employment, value-added and export earnings) and analyses the driving forces behind these trends. The study gives a reasonable estimation of the general trends in the sector at the regional and global level, with some estimations at the level of individual countries. This is the second update of FAO's original report on the topic.

Book Description
Since 1978, when the World Bank published its policy paper on forestry, the world's understanding of and concern about the forest sector of the developing world has increased substantially. It has become clear that forests and woodlands play an even more important economic and ecological role than had earlier been recognized. In particular, the importance of tropical moist forests in protecting biological diversity has become more fully appreciated, as has their role in the carbon cycle and in global climatic change. The nature of the challenge; Deforestation and forest degradation; The growing demand for forests and trees for basic needs; Strategies for forest development; The role of the world bank; Challenges for the forest sector; Strategies for forest development; The role of the world bank.

Book Description
Tropical forests are an undervalued asset in meeting the greatest global challenges of our time—averting climate change and promoting development. Despite their importance, tropical forests and their ecosystems are being destroyed at a high and even increasing rate in most forest-rich countries. The good news is that the science, economics, and politics are aligned to support a major international effort over the next five years to reverse tropical deforestation. Why Forests? Why Now? synthesizes the latest evidence on the importance of tropical forests in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in climate change and development and to readers already familiar with the problem of deforestation. It makes the case to decisionmakers in rich countries that rewarding developing countries for protecting their forests is urgent, affordable, and achievable.

ISBN : 1000709078
Book Description
Originally published in 1994, The Economics of the Tropical Timber Trade provides a detailed analysis of the economic linkages between the trade and forest degradation. Based on a report prepared for the ITTO, it looks current and future market conditions at the time of publication, and assesses the impacts on current and future market conditions, and assesses the impacts on tropical forests of both the international timber trade and domestic demand. The authors examine the causes of deforestation and compare the environmental impacts of the timber trade with other factors, such as the conversion of the forests to agriculture. Finally, they assess the national and international trade policy options, and discuss the potential role of interventions in the international timber trade in promoting efficient and sustainable use of forest resources. The book will be of interest to those concerned with forest management and policy, trade and environment, and with the economics of conversation and resource use.
