Southern Africa : woodbasket of the future : guest editorial

Abstract

With increasing political and economic stability in prospect, the region's potential as a grower of plantations is explored. Along with the potential afforestation, the region's ability to exploit the resources so generated is considered across a variety of manufacturing industries. The need for political alignment, as well as stability, as prerequisites for success are discussed. Concerted efforts within the region are needed to create the potential and much-needed wealth.
