Includes: illustrations, bibliography. Natural tropical forests are being cleared at an alarming rate and timber harvesting produces large areas of secondary forests annually often with negative effects on timber production and environmental values. Increased wood supplies from plantation forests have the potential to reduce pressure on natural forest resources as well as contributing to environmental care and economic advancement but these must e technically feasible, economically viable and socially acceptable. Many scientists have collaborated in the CIFOR/Japan Rehabilitation of Degraded Tropical Forest Ecosystems Project and undertaken research in West Africa, Southeast Asia and South America. They aimed to evaluate forest harvesting and fire impacts, to develop methods to rehabilitate logged-over forests and degraded forest lands, and to improve silvicultural techniques in plantations. The results of this project and similar research by other organisations are brought together in 26 papers to contribute to the sustainable use of forest resources and environmental conservation.
