Forestry and Development Newsletter

Forestry and Development is an online resource on sustainable forestry. It supports commercial forestry as a viable source of economic growth which is compatible with sustainability. It seeks to inform the reader on the latest forestry developments, with a specific focus on the commercial forest sector in Papua New Guinea.

Forestry and Development considers sustainable commercial forestry to be an important source of economic growth and development. We aim to provide accurate information and analysis on the latest developments in the industry, both on a global and a regional level.

Specific attention is paid to the Asia-Pacific forestry sector, which has recently become a target of strong criticism by Green groups. Forestry and Development considers the industry to be a significant contributor to the economies of the Asia-Pacific region, both now and in the future.

The Forestry and Development ENewsletters as well as Reports can be found on the Forestry and Development website.
