Bad Harvest: The Timber Trade and the Degradation of Global Forests

Analyzes the environmental effects the timber trade is having on forests - boreal, temperate and tropical - and considers the policies necessary to limit the damage. The authors discuss the changing nature of the trade and its effects on people working and living in the forests; the intensification of forest management; and the harmful effects of the pulp and paper manufacturing processes outside the forest. They conclude with a strategy for the timber trade which would help conserve the forests at the same time as being economically viableNigel Dudley is the author of 'Bad Harvest: The Timber Trade and the Degradation of Global Forests', published 1995 under ISBN 9781853831881 and ISBN 1853831883.
