State of the World's Forests (Revised ed)

This is the fourth edition of the biennial report on the state of global forest resources and developments in the forest sector.

It contains summary data and information on the status and change in forest resources worldwide from the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000, and chapters on selected key issues: climate change and forests, the conservation of forest-based biological diversity, and illegal activities and corruption in the forest sector.

The report also considers the issues of international dialogue and initiatives in support of countries' commitments to sustainable forest management, and to forestry in regional economic groups.
