    For much of the world's tropical population, coral reefs are synonymous with reef fish and edible marine invertebrates. Reef-related fisheries are important to small-scale fisherfolk, as a source of both protein and livelihood security for local coastal communities. In all of Asia, coral reef resources play a role in the food and livelihood security of coastal communities. Perhaps nowhere in Asia in this role more important than in the Maldives.

    This paper reviews various methodologies for forest valuation and describes how they have been used in the preparation of forestry investment projects and programmes. It confirms that many potentially good valuation methodologies exist and it presents summaries of most of the main methodologies used. The document highlights other important considerations that have to be considered in any analysis (e.g. distribution of costs and benefits, different perceptions of value). It also reveals that valuation is not widely used at the moment in forestry project preparation.

The working paper attempts to assess the potential productive capacity and fellings for both fuelwood and industrial wood use taking account of the impact of changes in the agricultural frontier and population growth.

    This thematic study provides a review and description of the trends in development of forest related legislation in a selected range of Asia-Pacific countries. The paper stresses the importance of often neglected factors in policy formulation such as the need for clear property rights, the significance of fuelwood supply, the correct identification of affected parties and the accurate valuation of intangible benefits. The need for better resource information and the correct pricing of forest products are also seen as important in promoting sustainable forest management in the region
