The crisis of fuelwood supply in the developing countries is not a
"future" one. Rather, it has existed for at least 20 years. In the
70's, there was a publication highlighting it by Paul Erlich entitled
"The other energy crisis". Two issues of UNASYLVA [33(131) and 33(133)]
in 1981 were devoted entirely to wood energy and fuelwood.
