Fiji forestry outlook study

Summary

The Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook Study (APFSOS) is a wide-ranging initiative to gather information on, and examine, the evolution of key forestry issues as well as to review important trends in forests and forestry. The main purpose of the study is to provide a better understanding of the changing relationships between society and forests and thus to facilitate timely policy reviews and reforms in national forest sectors. The specific objectives are to: 1) identify emerging socio-economic changes impacting on forest and forestry; 2) analyze probable scenarios for forestry developments to 2020; 3) identify priorities and strategies to address emerging opportunities and challenges.
