Page 1 of 7 Hopes and Regrets in Philippine forestry
Environmental Science for Social Change (ESSC); Food and Agriculture Organizations of the United Nations (FAO-UN); Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) The faces featured in this book reflect the naive, the hopeful, the anxious, the fearful, the complacent and the frustrated. Their stories talk about the prevailing poverty in the uplands, the search for pragmatic adaptations and mitigation mechanisms in the lowlands, well-intentioned policies with no serious implementation, the continuing illegal and "illegal" legal activities - painful realization of past wrong decision made. This book is a poignant reminder of what has been lost, and what might be regained. There are more than 40 faces in this book, yet the stories can easily appreciated by all Filipinos and valued as an articulation of thoughts and hopes that may lead to action.
