Abstract
The Amazon region of Brazil contains billions of cubic meters of high-quality wood whose overall value after sawing would be several trillion dollars. Given this timber wealth, it is com- mon to consider forestry as the natu- ral vocation for Amazonia (Pandolfo 1974). Already, well over half of the wood consumed in Brazil comes from Amazonia, and this domestic demand for Amazonian roundwood is ex- pected to grow (Verissimo et al. 1992). Foreign consumption of Amazonian wood, although low at present, is also likely to increase as Asian tropical hardwood stocks decline.
