As such, the forests are not-so-slowly declining in number and density, two conditions that -- if left unchanged -- will weigh heavily upon survival of the entire planet. Finding alternative, non-wood products has become a critical component in the struggle to preserve -- and re-establish -- the fragile forests. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
