Abstract

Around a third of the world's top 105 cities (by population) obtain a significant amount of their drinking water from the catchment areas of fully or partly protected forests. But they are not necessarily aware of this important role of forests. For instance, the economic value of 'water storage function' of China's forests is calculated to be three times more than the cost of their wood. If forests are to be maintained, their additional benefits (especially as a water resource) should be emphasised besides biodiversity conservation needs.
