Statement of forest principle.

The Statement of Forest Principles (also known as Rio Forest Principles) is the informal name given to the Non-Legally Binding Authoritative Statement of Principles for a Global Consensus on the Management, Conservation and Sustainable Development of All Types of Forests (1992), a document produced at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, informally known as the Earth Summit. The guiding objective of these principles is to contribute to the management, conservation and sustainable development of forests, and to provide for their multiple and complementary functions and uses.
