Our Forests, Our Future - Softcover

Our forests are in crisis, ranging from unsustainable felling in many developing countries to die-back of trees in polluted parts of the industrialised world. This book calls for radical policy reform, new political leadership, more civil involvement, and more scientific study to help ensure the future of our planet's forests.
