Bamboo calls for special attention for two reasons. It is an important<br />

component <strong>of</strong> several <strong>of</strong> the principal forest types in the<br />

<strong>Asia</strong>- Pacific region; and secondly, it serves as an alternative to<br />

other forest products in a wide range <strong>of</strong> end uses. There are between<br />

600 and 700 species <strong>of</strong> bamboo, belonging to 60 genera <strong>of</strong> the<br />

grass family (Gramineae). The widespread use <strong>of</strong> bamboo in some<br />

countries is in fact one, although by no means the only, reason for<br />

the low consumption per head <strong>of</strong> industrial woods. This article<br />

treats with the distribution and extent <strong>of</strong> bamboos in the <strong>Asia</strong>-<br />

Pacific region; management practices and -yields; "production and<br />

consumption; utilization; trade in bamboo; prospect^ for bamboo;<br />

and conclusions.<br />
