Abstract:
Taiwan is located in the southeastern margin of the mainland, lying in the Pacific seismic belt and the volcano belt, including Taiwan Island, Penghu islands and 86 islands. Taiwan is rich in forest resources. But its forest resources had gotten heavy deforestation and loss in the period of Japanese rule. After the victory of Anti-Japanese War, its forest protection and management underwent through a series of resource recovery process. In the 1970's, along with its economic takeoff, the ecologic benefit of the forest was evident and therefore the harvesting of forest resources gradually reduced. Until the 1980's, the state-owned forest harvesting stopped, and the protection and management of forest resources in Taiwan began to move in ecological conservation, forest recreation, city forest, community forestry development. Successful experience of the protection and management of forest resources in Taiwan has a certain reference value for Sichuan Province in forest resource protection,management and protection of the ecological environment and sustainable development.
