Les forêts permettent à des millions de personnes de survivre, en leur fournissant du bois de feu, des plantes médicinales, des aliments, des engrais pour leurs cultures et une grande variété d'autres produits. En outre, elles sont vitales pour que l'environnement de la planète se maintienne en bon état.

Those stries are seldom know by consumers living far away from where the raw material -wood- is obteined and from where pulp and paper are produced. It is therefore important to know -and tell- the story.
Ce livre est un recueil d’articles publiés dans le bulletin électronique mensuel du Mouvement mondial pour les forêts tropicales (World Rainforest Movement – WRM) au sujet du processus de gestion communautaire des forêts et des combats menés localement et dans le monde pour que ces forêts soient protégées et utilisées d’une manière équitable pour la société et appropriée pour l’environnement.

The debate on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has until now largely focused on agricultural crops and much less on genetically modified trees.
