Plantations are not Forests.
"Planting trees can be very good, but it can also be very bad. It
all depends on what you're planting them for, the scale and site of
the plantations and the impacts or benefits they bring to local
populations. Large-scale plantations (consisting of either fast-growth
trees such as eucalyptus and pines or of other species such as oil
palm) generate most negative impacts, both in social and environmental
terms." Published by the World Rainforest Movement (WRM), it
addresses the issues of plantations and the struggles developed at the
local and global levels against them. Non Governmental Organizations
and Indigenous Peoples Organisations can ask for a free copy of the
book. To do so, please WRM International Secretariat or visit:
