This book delves into the rich history of French forestry, beginning with the protectionist policies of Louis XIV and the subsequent penal code established during his reign. The author traces how the French Revolution ushered in a period of deforestation, followed by the re-establishment of forest conservation laws in the 19th century. These laws were designed to prevent devastation and preserve forests for their role in protecting watersheds, preventing erosion, and providing a habitat for wildlife.
