| Abstract: |
| The past decades have seen a range of international conventions and agreements taking effect, including Agenda 2, the Biodiversity Convention, the Kyoto Protocol and the Convention to Combat Desertification. They all have a strong impact on the forestry sector. Forests were once the foresters' traditional domain, but the range of forestry stakeholders is expanding fast. The scope of forestry-related activities is increasing, both inside and outside the forests. Foresters face an array of new professional challenges, and there is a perception that forester do not, and even could not, deliver on the ever-expanding forestry agenda. |
