In conclusion I believe in the ideas of sustainable development and it is probably going to be the most successful way of bringing equality of life into the developing world. It is sustainable in that there will still be trees for future use and it is development as people can get what they need from the trees. It has been said to be more focused than ‘Agenda 21’ and there is a wider cooperation. It is possible to obtain energy from other resources but these are often far more expensive than using crude oil and so are abandoned. pment is very ambitious and requires time, effort, cooperation and money. but replacing each tree with a new tree, using coppicing or pollarding.

In answering the question Yes I think development is sustainable but not in the quantity that we need, yes we can introduce sustainable development to small areas and they will get better but more is needed. It is also requires money that a lot of countries are just not prepared to give.
