Back to basics: field-level forestry
April, 2012. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). ASIA-PACIFIC FORESTS AND FORESTRY TO 2020. Forest Policy Brief 02. 2 pages

With demands on forests increasing and climate change threatening, efforts to maintain ecosystem services and benefits from forests should focus attention on effective management at the field level.
