Abstract: This volume compiles seventeen papers presented at the XVII Pacific Science Congress (1991) addressing tropical forestry research and management across the Pacific region. Topics include forest resource management, biodiversity, agroforestry, watershed management, and sustainable development in tropical environments. The proceedings emphasize the importance of forestry for livelihoods, environmental protection, and economic development in Pacific Island contexts, while highlighting challenges such as deforestation, limited research coordination, and the need for regionally adapted management practices. The work reflects early efforts to integrate scientific research, policy, and local knowledge in addressing forestry challenges across Micronesia and the broader Pacific.
