Abstract

Human species' dependence on forests is as old as the beginning of the times. Thus, the conservation of forests is important both for the existence of human beings and the protection of renewable natural resources. The forest ecosystem has an extended value-chain in the economy by providing a range of direct and indirect goods and services that benefit humankind in numerous ways. Hence, forests play a significant but often unrecognized role at multiple scales of human organization. For this very reason, Ministry of Climate Change and REDD+Pakistan joined hands with Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) to undertake a "Comprehensive National Level Assessment of Demand and Supply of Forest Products and Services in Pakistan".
