Chapter I summarizes the basic characteristics of tropical plant populations that limit the intensity of resource exploitation.
Chapter II discussed the potential long-term ecological impacts resulting from the selective harvesting of different plant parts.
Chapter III outlines the basic inventory and yield data needed to develop a program of sustainable resource use. Two different methodologies for defining a sustainable level of harvest are discussed.
Chapter IV provides an overview of conventional and indigenous forms of forest management and proposes a general sequence of silvicultural operations for non-timber forest resources.
A glosssary and extensive bibliography are also provided.

"The Economic Value of Non Timber Forest Products in Southeast Asia" is a fully revised and extended version of a report with the same title, which was first published by the Netherlands Committee for IUCN in 1989.
The book deals with an important but long-neglected aspect of the use and management of tropical forests, analyzing the role of the vast array of non-timber forest products in the local and national economies of Southeast Asia.
The approach to the subject of non-timber forest products in the book has appealed to NGO's, policy makers and scientists alike, especially in Southeast Asia, but it also received wide appreciation in Africa and Latin America. The book has served as an eye-opener and an example to many.
This second edition by Jenne de Beer, is a valuable successor to the first one. Updates and revisions have been made throughout the book. Among the important additions are a chapter on developments and discussions on non-timber forest products since 1989, a section on forest bee products, and many new references.
The book can be ordered from:

Promising fruits and vegetables from the Amazon region is a publication without precedent in the aim to spread useful information about the Amazon region, carried out by the Pro Tempore Secretariat of the Amazon Cooperation treaty (ACT) with the technical support of the FAO/Netherlands project and FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean. This publication was also made possible through funding by ICRAF, IFAD, UNDP, UNEP, IICA, GTZ and UNAMAZ.
The book presents magnificently illustrated information on 52 species of native fruits and vegetables from the Amazon region. For each of the 52 species selected there is a summary of its potential development in the region. The genetic and botanical characteristics of each species are described, together with their present and potential utilization, nutritional composition and value, ecology and adptability, availability as a genetic resource, methods of propagation and agronomical handling, harvesting and post-harvesting methods, possibilities of industrialization and potential markets. Contact addresses of specialized persons and institutions are given in the publication.
