About 83 percent of all new investment lending is subject to an Environment Assessment (EA), reflecting more rigorous application of the safeguard policies.

Extractions: Thick as a phone book, a new state report on the environment cites a little-recognized danger to global forests: California. By consuming "vast amounts of ... wood products" while increasingly protecting our own forests from logging, Californians are sharpening the pace of cutting elsewhere, including Canada, says a draft of the report "The Changing California, Forest and Range 2003 Assessment," obtained by The Bee. The 1,400-page report by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is to be presented to the state Board of Forestry this week. It is the fourth in a series of periodic checkups and the first to discuss the global reach of California's wood-consumption and forest-conservation practices, a theme explored by The Bee six months ago in a series of articles, "State of Denial."

Extractions: (Click to download image) Source: FAO 1997a North America is home to 13 per cent of the world's forests. While their area is increasing, their quality is still deteriorating Forests are one of the most prominent features of North America, covering about 25 per cent of the land area (FAO 1997b). North American forests constitute a rich resource, providing economic and recreational benefits, as well as watershed protection, wildlife habitat, and many other ecological services. The 460 million hectares of forests in Canada and the United States which are managed for commercial purposes comprise about 13 per cent of the world's total (FAO 1997b). The past 100 years have brought both gains and losses to North America's regional forest cover, with substantial regrowth in the eastern United States and Canada. Overall, the extent of forest cover has stabilized in many parts of the region. The quality of North America's forests, however, has deteriorated. While the world's second largest expanse of intact, natural forest is in the boreal regions of North America, forests in the United States are becoming increasingly fragmented and biologically impoverished, invaded by exotic species, or lacking in the characteristics that support viable populations of indigenous species (Bryant and others 1997).

forests on small islands have an important role in protecting watersheds,maintaining good water supplies and protecting the marine environment.
http://www.fao.org/docrep/W9950E/w9950e04.htm

Extractions: The environmental and social services of forests and trees include, among others, the conservation of biological diversity, carbon storage and sequestration for mitigation of global climate change, soil and water conservation, provision of employment and recreational opportunities, enhancement of agricultural production systems, improvement of urban and peri-urban living conditions and protection of natural and cultural heritage. These services have received increasing emphasis and, in some cases, global legal commitment since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The following section focuses on environmental and social services provided by forests and trees in fragile and/or marginal ecosystems: in drylands, on mountains and in small island states. A second major topic discussed below is the role of forests in mitigating global climate change, a subject given greater prominence with the signing of the Kyoto Protocol of the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) in 1997. Although forests in arid zones, in some mountain areas and on small islands generally have lower economic value in terms of timber resources than do humid lowland forests, they often have high environmental and social importance at the local level. These environmentally fragile areas tend to be isolated and economically marginalized. Under such conditions, people generally have a relatively high dependence on local forest resources for various goods.

Extractions: 'We aim to ensure that Scotland's trees, woods and forests make a positive contribution to the environment'. Scottish Forestry Strategy We will conserve and improve the biodiversity of our forests and woods by, amongst other things, promoting good environmental practice in the management of our production forests; by encouraging the use of Forest Plans that enable a coherent, comprehensive and long term view to be taken of their management; by working to increase the area of old growth stands and the use of systems which encourage 'continuous cover'. Supporting and enhancing biodiversity We will help to implement the relevant Native Woodland Habitat Action Plans and Species Action Plans Scotland's forests and woodlands In the past ten years Scotland's forest resource has become increasingly diverse and more natural looking through the use of open space and encouraging the increased use of native and broadleaved trees, often planted in mosaics along with more productive conifers. This brings further environmental benefits, as well as providing a haven for wildlife. In addition, our forests provide a variety of wonderful opportunities for recreation and education.

Extractions: In tropical forest regions, over 2000 tropical plants have been identified as having anti-cancer properties. However, scientiests have only tested 1 in 10 tropical forest plants for these properties and only intensively screened 1 in 100. Tropical forests have given us chemicals to treat or cure inflammation, rheumatism, diabetes, muscle tension, surgical complications, malaria, heart conditions, skin diseases, arthritis, glaucoma, and hundreds of other maladies. Forests offer stimulants, tranquilizers, contraceptives (like "the pill" which gets its active ingredient from the Mexican forest yam), and perhaps someday soon, a cure for AIDS. (In 1987, researchers found a tree compound from the Malaysian rainforest that was 100% effective against the HIV-1 virus. Sadly, they were never able to find that tree again.)
