Biowood to Save a Million Tropical Forest Trees

摘要

Coconut a permanent tree crops causing less soil degradations than many other agricultural crops. Coconut and Rubber plantations have generally a positive impact on the environment. When Coir and Rubber wood are sustained ably produced from plantations, they can substitute sawn-logs and fuel-wood, otherwise exploited from natural forests. The economically available volume of rubber wood logs corresponds to an amount of native tropical timers which is annually harvested from an area of about 0.6 million hectares. Rubber wood production and utilization therefore can reduce the pressure on natural tropical forests and contribute towards biodiversity conservation.
