This is a review of the forests of Indochina. The Forest Service
was created in 1901, under French direction. By 1929, it had established
about 50,000 hectares of reservations. Of the three provinces,
which formed the part of Indochina now known as Vietnaa,
the forests of Tonkin were considered the most devastated and
poorest. The forests of Annam, in central Vietnam, on the other
hand, have long been an important source of timbers and minor forest
products.
The forests of Cochinchina, now a part of South Vietnam, may be
divided into dryland forests, to the East, and periodically flooded
forests, to tlie West.
The forests of Cambodia, cover an area of U,000,000 hectares
(15,kkk sq, mi.); are separated into three major types: (a) inundated
forest, (b) open forest, and (c) dense forest.
Laos, although rich in forest types, had not been thoroughly
studied up to 1929 like those of Annam and, Cambodia. As a xesult
of shifting agriculture, extensive areas had been cleared of forest,
and these zones in part had been invaded by palais, and other plants
of secondary growth. Valuable teak forests, in the northwest, were
also severely overeat. Laos has long been considered a vast potential
source of forest products but a program of forest management and reforestation
still remained to be organized in 1929.
