Descripción
Why undertake wood energy planning? There are some very good reasons. The current situation in most countries is that a variety of interventions affect wood energy. These interventions include policies, laws, improved resource management, resource development, restrictions on cutting trees and transporting wood products, imposition of stampage fees, incentives, and other efforts. Probably the main common factor in all these interventions is that they are largely ineffective. No doubt, th e interventions are well-intended, but they are based on inadequate knowledge of local and national situation. Quite a few interventions even have adverse impacts on the livelihoods of people on the economy at large. It is definitely possible to do better than that. Planning provides the tools to provide information and improve the quality of decision making, in wood energy as much as in other sectors.
