Description
(Text)
Forests are key components of the environment. They provide a wide range of essential goods and services that create opportunities for development and improvement of human well being. However, forests worldwide are being threatened by uncontrolled degradation and conversion to other forms of land uses, influenced by increasing human needs; agricultural expansion; and environmentally harmful mismanagement. Mankind must strike a balance between his needs and forest conservation, or face the adversity of a degraded environment.
