 Chapter 4 Forest policy,
law and administration
Jim Ball Chair, Commonwealth Forestry Association
The UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 was a major catalyst
worldwide for the revision of forest policies and legislation and for re-thinking administrative
arrangements for forests. This chapter describes how the forest services of the
Commonwealth have been in the forefront of these changes.
The chapter also includes information on the various Commonwealth forestry associations and
technical publications related to forestry published in Commonwealth countries.
