Describes wood identification, standardization of nomencla-
ture, anatomical investigation, and timber properties test-
ing done in cooperative research between the University of
Freiburg (Institute of Wood Anatomy and Technology) in
Germany and the University of Curitiba (Forestry Faculty)
in Brazil. Schizolobium parahybum and Mimosa scabrella

Describes the forests and other areas of natural beauty
which have potential for world enjoyment and use, and the
problems that countries have to resolve before they can
take advantage of these values. Economic assistance agen-
cies could make a significant contribution by using their
own resources to protect these areas, to promote develop-
ment, and generate foreign exchange with managed forest
production as well as offering recreational opportunities and
enjoyment of magnificent landscapes.

A three part report on: (1) Internal demand for timber
and wood products with analysis, and forecasts of demand
made on the basis of projected increases in population and
GNP (based on the assumption that Brazil will follow the
trends of developed countries). (2) Output predictions to
1985 are made for output from natural forests, plantations,
and National Parks, by region and timber type. Output of
plantation pine and eucalypts is predicted for a period of
15 to 20 years. (3) Required further reforestation is calcu-
lated by considering total production and demand forecasts
by region, including balances of supply and demand be-
tween regions. Projected costs required for the period to
1985 are given.
