World Series Vol. 7 - Developments in Forest and Environmental Law Influencing Natural Resource Management and Forestry Practices in the United States of America and Canada

"The collection of 28 research papers provides an overview of the dynamic and multifaceted development of forest and environmental law in North America and its impact on forest conservation, forestry practices and sustainable resources management. The majority of the contributions deal with legislative and regulatory changes in the United States, and several others address public land tenure and timber allocation procedures in Canada. 

They have been selected from the proceedings published in 1990, 1992 and 1996 by the Research Group S 6.13.00 Forest Law and Environmental Legislation (now 9.06.00) of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations, IUFRO. 

The collection of texts provides a source of information set in an international and interregional perspective, and a useful reference for comparative analysis."
