Title: Technologies to sustain tropical forest resources

Abstract

This report describes the background of tropical forest resource changes, including who is affected, the current status, the visible agents and underlying causes of change, and the organizations involved. Various technologies for resource-sustaining development of tropical forests are discussed. Some are techniques to manage the forests and some are technologies to use forests to protect related resources such as agriculture and water. Issues and options for Congress to promote development and use of technologies that can sustain tropical forest resources globally and within US tropical territories are described. (ACR)
