Love, Amyee A North American family of eight, plus one dog, travel overland from West Yellowstone, Montana to Danli, Honduras, to reside there for the duration of a business venture in Forestry and Saw-milling. They did not have the benefit of knowing the Spanish language, or the customs of the host countries, but they did have plenty of guts and determination. The children attended local schools and learned to speak the Spanish language much faster than Mom and Dad. They all eventually came back to the USA except "Mom" Audrey whose wonderful life was taken by a drunken driver.

Forest concessions have been an important element of forestry and forest management in many countries, including developing countries. However, if sustainable management of tropical forests is to be achieved and deforestation brought under control, the allocation, management, and supervision of forest concessions will need to be strengthened. This study examines the failures of forest concessions over the last 20 years, and highlights the potential gains resulting from concentrating on improving procedures, introducing performance incentives, and monitoring key performance elements.
