Afforestation: Policies, Planning and Progress

Provides a comparative review of selected national experiences of afforestation within a broad framework that establishes the global extent and significance of the process. Focuses on major issues of policy and achievement rather than on technical details of silviculture. The extent, type and pattern of afforestation, policy setting and problems encountered in national experiences are the focus of individual chapters. The various countries are arranged in distinct groups according to the level of progress in the field.
