Mainstreaming sustainability in tropical forests
Examining the contents of this issue of Tropical Forest Update, a reader might struggle to identify a unifying theme given the wide range of topics, from ITTO’s global advocacy to microcredit schemes in Cambodia to the emergence of Viet Nam’s booming forest sector. In fact, the wide variety of subjects demonstrates how sustainable forest management (SFM) is permeating the whole forest sector. Slowly but steadily, an approach that delivers benefits simultaneously for society, the economy and the environment is becoming mainstream—the status that SFM must attain to be effective.
