This special issue of Unasylva has two main objectives. It brings to our readers an edited selection of some of the position papers of the important 4th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry Development in the Tropics and, in doing, this, it emphasizes FAO's principal concern in the field of forestry: how to make the best and wisest use of man's least understood ecological formation, the moist tropical forest.

Ecuador es considerado como uno de los “hotspots” de biodiversidad en el mundo (Brummit y Lughadha 2003). Pero también presenta una de las tasas de deforestación más altas de Latinoamérica, estimada en 0,63% para el periodo 2000- 2008 (MAE 2011a), lo que corresponde a más de 61,765 mil hectáreas por año.

this MFW will be an approach to restoration which requires coordination between sectors intended to promote productive multifunctional territories characterised by an optimal balance negotiated with local actors in terms of supply of economic, social and environmental benefits.

Globally, according to FRA 2000, planted forests account ed for only 5% of forest area, but up to 35% of industrial roundwood supply. This is anticipated to rise to 40-44% by 2020. Planted forests reflect a higher social, environmental and economic importance than their area would suggest. Many countries have existing planted forest data that is not based upon forest inventory, is incomplete and often outdated. Thus it is difficult to measure and plan the quantity and quality of planted forest resources and the provision of goods and services that they supply.
