ETFRN NEWS 45/46: Forests, Water and Livelihoods, winter 2005-2006
Forest and water issues have hit the news headlines over the past months. “Down with Trees” became one of the slogans after the release of the DFID report “From the Mountain to the Tap” and the FAO/CIFOR publication “Forests and Floods”.
The balance of public perceptions is swinging back and forth – from exaggerated expectations of what trees and reforestation can achieve we may go to the other extreme of ignoring the positive values of maintaining forested landscapes. Beyond the probably necessary shock effect of ‘debunking myths’, we get valid concerns over not throwing away baby trees with the bathwater. In this newsletter the different positions in this public debate are reflected.

Another special issue of ETFRN News on forests and water has appeared in Spring-Summer 2001
