Resumen
Descripción
In most developing countries, woodfuels (fuelwood and charcoal) are the main forest products derived from forests and trees outside forests. In order to develop appropriate policies, it is vital to understand how woodfuels are produced, traded and utilized. This in turn requires a reliable database. The study Wood energy information analysis in Asia was undertaken to collect data and to assess the status of woodfuels information systems in selected developing countries of Asia. Analyses of the s ocio-economic importance and ecological impact of woodfuels production, utilization and trade were also undertaken. Finally, organizational and institutional issues related to improving capacities for wood energy information systems were addressed.
