. The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests: the Americas. Trinidad and Tobago. Extensive mangroves are found in Caroni Swamp, Western Trinidad. (Mark Spalding) zone. Map 15.1 shows the forests in Trinidad covering 1683 sq. km (Table 15.3), but the source map is 14 years old and there is no indication of when the data for this map were collected (see Map Legend). No map or information on the extent of the forests on Tobago has been found for this project. An analysis of aerial photographs covering most of the State- owned forest land during the 1978-1980 forest inventory gave the areas of the forest types as shown in Table 15.4. This indi- cates that state-owned natural forests covered around 35 per cent of the islands at that time. The area of private forests is dis- puted (Chalmers and Faizool, 1992). For many years, up to 1971, the annual reports of the Forestry Division gave a figure of 105 sq. km for these forests. However, in the 1972 report a figure of 544 sq. km was quoted, of which only 72 sq. km was high forest and timber plantations while the rest was secondary growth — the source for this information was a 1963 agricul tural census. The forest resources can be divided into protection and pro- duction forests. Approximately 29 per cent of the state con- trolled forests in Trinidad are devoted to environmental conser- vation, while almost all of Tobago's forests are designated as protection forests. About 750 sq. km of Trinidad's natural forest have been clas- sified as productive — i.e. intended for long term production of timber — of which 160 sq. km are intensively managed. However. Synnott (1988, 1989) considers all 750 sq. km to be sustainably managed in that they are protected to a degree by resident forest guards, there are defined management objectives and working plans for the forests and the logging activities are subject to at least some planning, supervision and control. This professional management began in the 1920s and working plans w
