CATIE's contribution to sustainable forest management in the Humid Tropical Forests of Central America

CATIE's basic principles for ecologically sustainable, economically interesting, technically feasible and socially equitable silviculture and management of tropical humid forests are summarized. Management on the basis of the planning of objectives and production, regulation of the timber harvested, training of forest workers, directed felling and integral harvesting, implementation of post-harvest activities and silvicultural treatments, maintaining or increasing the value of future yields, is recommended.
