Abstract: Abstract Forest management is a critical policy interest in the 1990s…. In some countries the rate of deforestation exceeds three per cent. Globally, deforestation occurs at an annual rate approaching 0.7 per cent and it annually disturbs land cover on an area the size of Great Britain. The exploitation of global, and especially tropical forests threatens the earth’s long-term climate patterns, its reserves of genetic resources, and the more immediate life support of dependent local human communities (Hyde and Newman, 1991, p. 1).
