摘要

Our tragedy with forestry began the day we started using market forces to make management decisions. The arguments then looked straightforward. Which will bring more wealth-selling the timber and saving the money in a bank, or leaving the timber stand to grow some more? Such a procedure, generally in practice among owners of private forest lots in temperate countries, was thoughtlessly transplanted into the tropics. Although the conditions in tropical countries differed substantially, forests being mostly state-owned, and their values going considerably beyond that of timber, it nevertheless captured the minds of the policy-makers who readily promoted cashing in the timber in a market that was generally underpriced and unpredictable. Of course with hindsight, some of us now concede that we did go off the mark. We now recognize that while forests are a source of timber with market value, their values go far beyond, into influencing local and regional climate, protecting soil, providing potable water and mitigating floods to mention a few. Over and above, forests remain a significant source of livelihood for people living inside or in neighboring villages. All these functions were not taken into account or given a fiscal value, remained outside the production boundary, and distorted our decision-making when it came to logging or converting forests. Not that there was no enthusiasm to do so-we would have done the same even if we had all the information on the true values of forests as well as all the cautionary notes.
