The article surveys recent developments in global multilateral environmental agreements that relate to the conservation of forests. These include the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Desertification, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and the Ramsar Convention.
