The introduction of basic management into tropical forests

The basic elements of rainforest management include suitable objectives, controls over the rate and intensity of harvesting, and long-term protection of the forest. These elements occur together in very few forests in the tropic. Some lessons can be learned from cases where management systems have failed of broken down. More valuable lessons are derived from areas where serious efforts are now being made to design and operate management systems adapted to the local social, environmental and political circumstances. The combined effect of international trade agreements, conservation groups and timber companies worried about their future supplies and markets have resulted in major new opportunities for introducing effective management.
