Acknowledgements The dedication and enthusiasm of the authors have contributed to make this book what it is. Our special thanks go to Christian Cossalter of the Center for International Forestry Research for his major role at the start of the project deciding content, general structure and authorships and later in arranging external reviewers. His attention and support has freed us from the day-to-day problems of bringing such a book to completion and allowed us to concentrate on editorial tasks. We would also like to thank those who reviewed the various chapters: they are P.S. Ashton (Harvard Institute for International Development), Peter Becker (Universiti Brunei Darussalam), Tim Boyle (Center for International Forestry Research), P. Burgess, P. Moura-Costa (Innoprise), K.S.S. Nair (Kerala Forest Research Institute), F.E. Putz (Center for International Forestry Research), Manuel Ruiz-Perez (Center for International Forestry Research), Willie Smits (The International MOF TROPENBOS – Kalimantan Project), Paul B. Tompsett (Royal Botanic Gardens Kew), Ian Turner (National University of Singapore) and T.C. Whitmore (Cambridge University). Our warm thanks go also to Rosita Go and Meilinda Wan for secretarial assistance, Gideon Suharyanto for the layout, Paul Stapleton for the cover design, Patrick Robe for the scientific index and Michael Harrington for the general index.

Foreword The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) was established in 1993 at a time when there was a resurgence of interest in the sustainable management of the world’s tropical rain forests. At that time it was evident that a particular focus for CIFOR’s research should be in the moist tropical forests of Asia. Trees in the family Dipterocarpaceae, “the dipterocarps” are a major component of southeast Asia’s tropical forests. Their wood is pre-eminent in the international tropical timber trade and they play a key role in the economies of several countries. A considerable research effort had already been devoted to the management and utilisation of dipterocarp forests starting with the British in India last century and continuing throughout the 20th century, especially in Malaysia. A vast amount of information has been gathered, but unfortunately it has not been consolidated and no readily accessible compilation of results has been available. This has reduced the impact of the research and has almost certainly resulted in the duplication of efforts by national and international bodies. As a new international research centre it was appropriate that CIFOR should take the initiative and commission a general review of the current state of knowledge of dipterocarp taxonomy, ecology and silviculture, to identify gaps in this knowledge and to spell out priority areas for new research. This action accorded with the views of many members of the informal Round Table on Dipterocarps who had been meeting on a regular basis to share information on the family . A draft outline of the book was endorsed by the Fifth Round Table on Dipterocarps at its meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand late in 1994. Since then, under the direction of Christian Cossalter at CIFOR and Dr S. Appannah at Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), 13 authors have prepared and revised the 10 chapters of the book. With authors located in Asia, Europe and the United States this has been a major undertaking and the efforts of all concerned to bring this work to a successful conclusion are very much appreciated. I anticipate that this book will be especially beneficial to those planning research on dipterocarps in Asia. I hope it will assist university graduate and postgraduate researchers, and especially scientists in national and international organisations to re-orient their research to meet priority needs. The review should also be useful to forest managers in both public and private sectors who must make decisions based on whatever information is available to them and who have neither the time nor the resources to delve into the highly dispersed literature on dipterocarps. CIFOR is very grateful to many people for their assistance with this book; to all the contributing authors for their commitment and for their patience with demands made on them by the editors; to the reviewers who provided critical appraisals of the chapters and made valuable inputs; to the editors who brought all the contributions together and completed endless checking and cross-checking of the information: to the CIFOR Communications Group for typesetting and layout; and finally to the staff of the Forest Research Institute Malaysia and its Director General Dr. M.A.A. Razak for their unflagging support and cooperation in producing this book. I thank all who contributed in so many ways. Prof. Jeffrey Sayer Director General of CIFOR
