| Yet there are many areas of forestland that are not being managed. |
| Hence, in addressing forest tenure in the 1980s and 1990s, the changes have focused on use rights to forestland and ownership of trees and forests rather than land ownership. |
| Although the district has about 30 per cent of forest area, there is no eco-tourism within forestland. |
| Depletion of forestland has also led to flooding and population displacement. |
| Over the past decade, expired, abandoned, and canceled timber concessions have turned vast areas of logged-over forestland into open-access areas. |
| Of that land base, less than half is productive forestland, the balance made up of swamps, lakes, muskeg and rocks. |
