Tropical forests: a call for action
Journal Article
·
· Environment; (United States)
This article is a review of a report called Tropical Forests: A Call for Action which was a report of an International Task Force convened by the World Resources Institute, World Bank, and the United Nations Development Programme. The report was put together because the forestry problems of developing countries can only be solved in the wider arena of public policies for rural development, and because forest conservation and development projects can earn rates of economic return high enough to be self-sustaining. This report is important because for the first time major development assistance agencies have collaborated in the preparation of a comprehensive and cost-specific forestry program for developing countries.
