by early in the next century that figure will have doubled. The vast majority, city-dwellers as well as farmers, rely on wood fuel for domestic use. Supplies are diminishing as consumption grows. Hence the quality oflife is deteriorating yet further and the environment is more and more degraded. This crisis is not simply the consequence of a wood shortage which might be cured by some cropping and management policy; it flows from a complex network of causes each contributing in its way to growing poverty. The authors, using case studies, examine policies that can help prevent the current crisis developing into a future catastrophe. The knowledge and experience of the strategic planning world needs to be made more widely available-and be more widely applied-to these urgent world issues if we are going to avoid the disasters waiting for us in the next century, if not before.
