RILSIM, the “Reduced-Impact Logging SIMulator”, is a financial modeling software developed as a service to the international forestry community. RILSIM has been designed to permit users to rapidly estimate the costs and net revenue associated with logging operations in order to compare short-term financial costs and returns expected from reduced-impact logging with those expected from conventional logging under identical local site conditions. The purpose of the software is to help users learn about reduced-impact logging and its potential financial advantages as compared to conventional logging. It is available in French, Spanish, English and Portuguese.
