Two related, but distinct, issues
• Deforestation: conversion of forests to other land uses
• Depletion: harvesting more timber than grows

Global deforestation
• Between 1990 and 2000, 94 million hectares of forest were lost– About two Californias
![Page 5: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Deforestation is not occurring everywhere

• Forest cover increased during 1990-2000 in the world’s most populous countries, China and India– And also in the U.S.

Why is the deforestation rate lower in richer countries?
![Page 10: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why is the deforestation rate lower in richer countries?
• Because they are less dependent on agriculture, which uses land
![Page 11: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Why is the deforestation rate lower in richer countries?
• Because they are less dependent on agriculture, which uses land
• Countries’ economies undergo structural changes as they grow– The share of agriculture decreases, while the shares of
manufacturing and services increase
– People leave rural areas and move to cities
– Agriculture intensifies
– Deforestation slows down and may reverse

The world is not running out of wood
• Industrialized countries harvest less timber than they grow– Harvest from all sources is 79% of growth in
North America, and 59% in Europe
• Harvest exceeds growth mainly in low-income countries
![Page 21: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Myth:Consumption in North
is driving depletion in South
![Page 22: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Myth:Consumption in North
is driving depletion in South
• Most of wood harvested in developing countries is fuelwood, not industrial roundwood (only 21%)
![Page 23: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Myth:Consumption in North
is driving depletion in South
• Most of wood harvested in developing countries is fuelwood, not industrial roundwood (only 21%)
• Most of industrial roundwood is consumed within countries where it is harvested, not exported (only 20%), directly or indirectly

• Most of wood harvested in developing countries is fuelwood, not industrial roundwood (only 21%)
• Most of industrial roundwood is consumed within countries where it is harvested, not exported (only 20%), directly or indirectly
• Developing countries import more industrial roundwood and wood products than they export (by 18%)

Property rights and scarcity
![Page 27: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Property rights and scarcity
• Big institutional difference between forests in North and South: property rights
![Page 28: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Property rights and scarcity
• Big institutional difference between forests in North and South: property rights
• 20th Century: as timber stocks in old-growth forests depleted, price of timber rose
• In response:1. More investment in management of second-growth forests
2. More investment in plantations
• Today, < 20% of timber (globally) comes from old-growth forests
![Page 29: Forest sector dynamics: lessons for marine resources?](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649cb05503460f9497572c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

2. More investment in plantations
• Today, < 20% of timber (globally) comes from old-growth forests
• Cheap wood from plantations makes logging of natural forests less profitable
– Unintentional conservation
