    To anyone who is genuinely concerned for the future of both the world's forests and the populations who depend either directly or indirectly - on the use of these forests for their livelihood, it should be apparent that, rather than being a force for the destruction of forest resources, forest industry is and must continue to be an essential element in the process of valorizing these resources and thereby ensuring the socio-economic base for sustainable development.

    Throughout history, the forests have been valued for the multiplicity of products and benefits that they provide, both for subsistence and for trade: foods, medicines, spices, resins, gums, latexes, wildlife, fuelwood, and of course timber and other wood products. The literature is rich with examples of international trade in forest products, many dating back thousands of years. Significantly, in most cases the products sought by traders were resins, oils, spices, and much less frequently timber.

    Extensive grazing is the predominant form of land use on at least a quarter of the world’s land surface, in which livestock are raised on food that comes mainly from rangelands. Extensive grazing differs from crop or forestry production, in which the produce remains in situ whilst growing. Evaluation for extensive grazing, unlike that for cropping or forestry, must take into account the production of both grazing forage, termed primary production, and the livestock that feed on this forage, termed secondary production.

    Tous ceux qui sont vritablement soucieux de l'avenir la fois des forts mondiales et des populations qui vivent directement ou indirectement - de l'exploitation de ces forts devraient admettre que l'industrie forestire n'est pas une force de destruction des forts mais qu'elle est, et doit rester, un aspect capital du processus de mise en valeur de ces ressources, et qu'elle offre ainsi la base socio-conomique ncessaire au dveloppement durable.

    A todo el que se interese sinceramente por el porvenir de los bosques del mundo y por el bienestar de quienes directa o indirectamente dependen de ellos para su subsistencia, debe parecerle evidente que la industria forestal, lejos de ser una fuerza destructiva de bosques, es y deber seguir siendo un elemento esencial para su valorizacin y, por consiguiente, para un desarrollo econmico y social sostenible.

    Tout au cours de l'histoire, les forts ont t estimes pour l'abondance des biens qu'elles prodiguent: produits de subsistance et produits d'change, aliments, remdes, pices, rsines, gommes, latex, gibier, bois de feu et, naturellement, bois d'uvre avec tous ses drivs. Les textes foisonnent d'exemples de commerce international de produits forestiers remontant pour beaucoup des milliers d'annes. Il est d'ailleurs intressant de noter que ces changes portaient davantage sur les rsines, les huiles et les pices que sur le bois.
