II.The History of Human Use of the Forests of Indo-China
The original natural forests of Southeast Asia have been modified more or lessby human use. The extent of this modification is largely a function of the populationdensity In the region.Areas like Borneo and New Guinea with low population densitieshave experienced relatively little human forest modification and still have substantialareas of natural forests essentially undisturbed (by humans).The Indo-chinesepeninsula Is one of the regions of Southeast Asia that has experienced a major impactof human intervention for a long period of time. Williams (1965) notes that a greatmajority of the inhabitants of the Indo-chtna peninsula are farmers and peasants andthat 85 or 90 percent of the national income of the countriesderived from agricultural crops and forest products.that comprise it isThe extent of forest modificationIs a direct function of the population density and its relationship to thesize of the forest land base.Among four of the Indo-china countries Laos, Cambodia,South Vietnam and Thailand; Laos has the largest ratio of forest land area to populationand South Vietnam the smallest.for these countries.Thailand and 1.44 for South Vietnam.The ratios of acres of forest land per inhabitantis approximately 13-23 for Laos, 3-08 for Cambodia, 1.80 forThere has been a substantial migration ofNorth Vietnamese and Cambodians into South Vietnam that is difficult to quantifyhence the ratio for South Vietnam is even probably lower than indicated by the data.Many observers of South Vietnam forests have noted the extent of human interventioninto the natural forests and the corresponding modifications from the virgincondition.Ralston and Tho (1970) have noted:While there is an opportunity for the Republic of Vietnamto expand its wood using industry, it would be a mistaketo think that any real competitive advantage exists. True,Vietnam has sizeable but unknown amounts of timber resourceswhich can be exploited to a much greater extent than atpresent. However on a per capita basis, Vietnam Is not ina favored position compared with many nations of the worldand Southeast Asia. *Rollet (1962) a French botanist with extensive experience in Indo-china, authorof the principal document on the Vegetation of South Vietnam and Director of the FAOII-3
