Abstract

If there is one constant these days, it is that nothing is constant. This is certainly so for tropical forest management. In recent years the underlying drivers of tropical deforestation have shifted profoundly, prompting conservationists to reassess their strategies for protecting forests. Those in the tropical timber industry need to think hard and fast about these new realities. If they fail to do so, they will increasingly be considered part of the forest-conservation problem, rather than part of the solution.
