About the Book

This is a case study of a large-scale, clear-felling timber operation in the lowland rain forests of Papua New Guinea. The book suggests lessons that can be learned from the project that are relevant to forest managers elsewhere in the tropical world. This series provides data on the interaction between man and the environment. It represents some of the central findings to emerge from the 15-year "Man and the Biosphere" research programme initiated by UNESCO and supported by scientists from over 100 nations. The books in this series all focus on environmental issues of immediate international concern - and they demonstrate the way in which many environmental factors have important implications both for economics and for sociology.

Table of Contents:
Papua New Guinea - a background; the forests of Papua New Guinea; the Gogol Valley - a background; the Gogol timber project; environmental consequences; social consequences; an assessment; a postscript; chronology of events; establishment of woodchip price; tentative classification of seed dispersal modes; summary of the information required by the National Investment and Development Authority of new investors in the timber industry after 1975.
