  27. In summary • Recreational services offerings are of considerable importance, and to date have not been extensively exploited in the majority of countries. • There remains a critical tension between, on the one hand, conservation, and on the other, increased tourism development which brings with it intrusion and potential degradation. • There is a major dilemma in achieving a balance between conservation and the drive to increase foreign exchange revenue. INNO-FOREST 2007

  28. Lack of comprehensive innovation policies in the forest sector. • Lack of interactions of the forestry actors with national innovation system actors. • Lack of interactions with actors from sectors where relevant innovations are occurring, very often being non-timber demands (e.g. tourism, nature conservation).
