Forestry Flavours of the Month : Matchstick Literary : 9781645503705 : 1645503704 : 06 Aug 2019 : Forestry touches on all aspects of human welfare in one way or another, which is why foresters need to play an active role in determining our collective agenda. Alastair Fraser, a lifelong forester and the co-founder of LTS International, a forestry consulting company, explains how forestry changes with political cycles and how foresters can promote healthy forests at all times. He explores critical issues such as: - forests and their connection to coal; - forest's role in combatting floods and climate change; - illegal logging in Indonesia, Laos, and elsewhere; - tactics to promote sustainable forestry management; - plantations as a solution to tropical deforestation. From pulping in Sweden and Brazil, paper mills in Greece and India, agroforestry in the Philippines, "pink" disease in India and oil bearing trees of Vietnam, no topic is off limits.
