Description :
The AA. assert that only through profitable management of forests for timber and non-timber products can forest cover be maintained in competition with pressures to convert forest land to other uses. This sustainability concept is important, since parks can provide protection for only a small fraction of the remaining forests in Latin America.―(DWG)
