- 4th January 2001Name one type of certification scheme that labels timber from sustainably managed forests.
- 5th January 2001A pie chart shows land use split into farmland 60%, woodland 25% and urban 15%. Calculate the angle for the farmland sector.

- 7th January 2001Give one example of a bottom-up development strategy.
