Descripción
The lead article in this issue of Unasylva, "Tropical rain forest management: a status report", is the third in a series dealing with tropical rain forest management. In the article, FAO Forestry Officer R. Schmidt looks at the technical aspects of natural tropical forest management in a review of recent FAO studies and of reports from past and present FAO-assisted government projects in tropical forest management. His conclusion is that few of these programmes have been abandoned on technical g rounds and that, in fact, in at least 36 tropical countries there are still large areas of natural rain forest where opportunities exist for the application of both technically and economically feasible intensive management.
