World Bank Glossary: Forestry Terms, English-French (Glossaire de la Banque Mondiale: Terminologie Forestiere, Francais-Anglais)

摘要

The purpose of this glossary is to put together some practical and useful terms relating to various aspects of forestry, especially in arid and semiarid zones. With world attention focused on the energy crisis and disruption of the environment, the World Bank has become increasingly involved in wood-based energy and erosion-control projects, while the fuelwood problem and desertification have become more acute in many developing countries.
