XIII World Forestry Congress
Forests in Development – a Vital Balance
18-23 October 2009, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Specific tools of forest and environmental policy and legislation need to be developed and implemented to solve conflicts of interests e.g. between forest utilization and nature conservation.
Cities across the world are turning to urban green space as important contributors to quality of life and city competitiveness. Urban forestry is a crucial element in these efforts.
This issue highlights urban forestry and the importance of green spaces in cities and also looks at legal aspects of sustainable forest development particularly in Europe.
