摘要：In many tropical forests the sustainable use of bamboo
resources is an important part of forest management.
Bamboo has about 1500 documented uses worldwide
(inbar 2006). While its use in Southeast Asia is widespread,
the extent of bamboo utilization in Ghana is relatively low.
This is due largely to a lack of knowledge about the technical
properties of native bamboo species and also poor processing
techniques (unido 2001). Nevertheless, the creation of a
sound bamboo industry would help ease the pressure on
Ghana’s natural forests.
