Forest management

Forests in landscapes: ecosystem approaches to sustainability (pdf 1.4mb)

Sustainable and effective forest management is achievable when forest governance systems are fair and predictable. Local communities have been able to, given the right incentives and conditions, tailor effective forest management systems.

This series of case studies examines how local communities are moving ahead of international rhetoric and implementing sustainable forest management and conservation approaches.

This paper looks at the emerging issues of forest management, including:
- Global challenges in forest management
- Economics issues in ecosystems
- Changing forest values in Europe
- Empowering the forest-dependent poor in India
