Description:	The conventional forest management system proposed for the brazilian amazon is not widely applied there (Hummel, 1996). Problems arise because of the heavy investment and large areas of forest needed to implement the system, and the long period required for the forest to regenerate after harvesting combined with the low pr ice of timber in local markets. As a result, formal forest management is designed for large properties where investment potential is high.
