Forest Trends collaborates with other organizations and agencies to provide these resources. Much of the material will appear in the WRI Forest Ecosystems report in greater detail, part of a larger set of studies from WRI on the status of the world's ecosystems. There is also information from other important resources on forests from around the world. We have also provided links to our resource library, guided by the same themes. Forest Services - forests provide many services, both economic and ecological, to people, plants and animals.
Key services are biodiversity, ecotourism, carbon storage and watershed protection.
This section outlines several key trends in the development and status of markets in forest services. This section provides information and analysis to understand past and future changes in forestry and forest-related industries. This section provides information on industrial production of roundwood, global production capacity, global wood consumption and other significant trends. This section provides information on trends in these areas as well as analysis and documentation of certification of forest products around the globe. Copyright 1999, Forest Trends.
