About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book gives a comprehensive account of an example of acute threats to a national forest resource … by well designed and rational technological, administrative and fiscal counter–measures and supporting policies. … book is a well-written assemblage of interesting and informative texts. … this quasi insider report of members of a forest service trying to cope with an enormous and complex challenge to scientific research, sustainable development and practical implementation is sufficiently thought provoking and stimulating, and interesting enough to make reading worthwhile.” (Eberhard F. Bruenig, International Forestry Review, Vol. 11 (1), 2009)
