    Rainfall, water, sediment yields and evaporation were quantified in three catchment areas with undisturbed rain forest, selectively logged forest, and forest with shifting cultivation respectively. Despite a considerable regional variation in rainfall(1700-2300 mm/a), annual evaporation rates were similar (1209-1314 mm/a). The impact of land use practices on water yield is negligible compared to the effect of rainfall.

    Lots of maps...Burma holds half of the remaining forest in mainland Southeast Asia. Having lost virtually all of their original forest cover, Burma's neighbors -- China, India, and Thailand -- rely increasingly on Burma as a source of timber. Most of the regional timber trade is illegal. (See The Regional Timber Trade in Southeast Asia.)

    Myanmar

    Bis vor kurzer Zeit war Burma (Myanmar) das Land mit mehr intaktem Tropenwald als irgendein anderes Land auf dem südostasiatischen Festland. Es liefert das wertvollste Teakholz, das weltweit auf dem Markt ist - Holz aus den letzten primären Teakwäldern der Erde. Nachdem in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Primärwälder Indiens, Thailands und Kambodschas weitgehend geplündert wurden, sind seit einigen Jahren die Teakwälder Burmas an der Reihe.

    The Karen State of Kawthoolei has been heavily dependent on teak extraction to fund the Karen National
    Union struggle against the Burmese military junta, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC).
    Raymond Bryant explores the social and economic structure of Kawthoolei, and the way in which resource
    extraction was more than simply a source of revenue � it was also an integral part of the assertion of Karen
    sovereignty...

    Ce projet financé par le PNUE et mis en oeuvre par le CIFOR s’est intéressé aux forêts tropicales humides d’Afrique occidentale, plus particuliérement au Ghana et au Nigeria, avec des informations complémentaires provenant du Libéria, de Sierra Leone et du Cameroun. L’objectif général était de faire une synthèse de toute l’information disponible sur les formations forestières humides d’Afrique occidentale afin de catalyser les initiatives susceptibles de favoriser l’adoption de principes de gestion durable des forêts dans toute la région. Le rapport se divise en neuf chapitres.

    As forest scientists widen their field of view and look at problems in a across-sectoral way, and with a sense of history, they start to ask, and aswer, more of the pressing questions. If they adopt an analytical, rather than a descriptive approach, they will make many new discoveries. The new policy environment in which forest science now has to operate reflects a growing concern about environmental change, locally and globally, and the need to control this through more sustainable development.
