This book looks at the current state of the world’s forests and progress towards more sustainable forest conservation globally. It also focuses on how Australia is managing and conserving its own native forests, with topics including forestry protection policies; tree-clearing and logging practices; the debate over native forest logging, including old growth forests; sustainable forestry practices, plantations and certification; and addressing habitat destruction and species loss. What are the sustainable solutions to deforestation and forest management – how do we see the forests for the trees?
This is an individual resource book (similar to a textbook).
The IUCN issues brief on deforestation and forest degradation is reproduced on pgs.8-9.
