	Deforestation and Forest Degradation
		The Papua New Guinea case study identified the lack of recognition of the philosophical and religious values of the forest as one of the main underlying causes contributing to the loss of its forests to logging, agricultural clearing, and mining that had occurred in response to strong external market pressures.
		The case study of the Jokkmokk Municipality of Sweden illustrated the dominance of the promotion of clearance of forests for settlement and for timber production in government policies.
		It should be noted in this respect that the fact that the current definition of forests is not coherent with an ecosystem approach has lead to a severe underestimation of the problem of forest degradation in countries like Sweden.
