About Product
A healthy and stable environment is vital for survival of civilization. Forests are fundamental to the earth’s ‘ecological infrastructure, hence the year 2011 has been designated as the International year of Forests by the United Nations General Assembly. A world without forests is unthinkable, but they are facing the challenges of deforestation, competing land uses and market policy and governance failures. But there are opportunities for greening the sector by establishment of Sustainable Forest Management (S.F.M.) criteria and indicators, the growth of protected areas, the concept of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) and growing acceptance of Payments for Environmental Services (PES).
