This book was released on 2019-08-24 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This assessment framework provides a basis for understanding the impact of community-based forestry (CBF) on forests and local livelihoods at the country level (e.g. improved forest governance, participatory conservation, joint forest management). It also presents indicators that may be used across countries, focusing on formal CBF initiatives recognized by statutory law. The study reports that there has been a substantial increase in forest land under various types of CBF regimes over the past two decades. The associated transfer of power to local people inherent in these regimes involves various combinations of user rights, responsibilities and decision-making. However, there has not been a systematic assessment of the extent and effectiveness of the various types of CBF regimes around the world. The report concludes that well-performing CBF has the potential to rapidly restore forests in ecological terms and scale up sustainable forest management to the national level, while improving the livelihoods of billions of the most marginalised people around the world. In doing so, CBF has the potential to contribute significantly to a range of Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 15, supporting the sustainable management of natural resources, and SDG 1, reducing poverty.

Book excerpt: A sustainable community, as understood by this research, is one that strives to maintain a health & thriving economy, society, & environment; adapts & responds to external & internal stresses & opportunities; provides a high quality of life for residents; and persists through time. This report describes five recent research projects identifying indicators of community sustainability in rural British Columbia. It develops a synthesis approach that combines elements from all five projects into an overarching framework for indicators research. More specifically, the framework organizes indicators derived from the projects into four basic types of capital: natural, economic, social, & human. It also identifies five specific outcomes: ecological integrity, economic vitality, civic vitality, physical & mental health, and recreational opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Chadwick Dearing Oliver has made major intellectual contributions to forest science and natural resources management. Over the course of his career he has actively sought to bring research and practice together through synthesis, outreach, and capacity-building. A common thread throughout his career has been complexity and how we as a society understand and manage complex systems. His work on forest stand dynamics, landscape management, and sustainability have all focused on the emergent properties of complex ecological and/or social systems. This volume celebrates a remarkable career through a diverse group of former students and colleagues who work on a wide range of subject areas related to the management of complex natural resource systems. Over the past decade there has been considerable discussion about forests as complex adaptive systems. Advances in remote sensing, social methods, and data collection and processing have enabled more detailed characterisations of complex natural systems across spatial and temporal scales than ever before. Making sense of these data, however, requires conceptual frameworks that are robust to the complexity of the systems and their inherent dynamics, particularly in the context of global change. This volume presents a collection of cutting-edge research on natural ecosystems and their dynamics through the lens of complex adaptive systems. It includes contributions by a wide range of authors from academia, NGOs, forest industry, and governmental organisations with diverse perspectives on forests and natural resources management. Each chapter offers new insights into how these systems can be made more resilient to ensure that they provide a diversity of ecological and social values well into the future. Together they provide a robust way of thinking about the many challenges that natural ecosystems face and how we as society may best address them.

Book excerpt: The book presents the current state and good practices of national forest inventories in monitoring wood resources and demonstrates pathways for harmonisation and improved common reporting. Beyond a general overview over availability and use of wood resources in different countries, it provides a unique collection of original contributions from national forest inventory experts with in-depth descriptions of current NFI methods in assessing wood availability and wood use in European countries, and selected countries from America and Asia.The main topics are national definitions and improvements in common reporting of forests available for wood supply, stem quality and assortments, estimation of change including growth and drain, and tree resources outside forest land. The book is a must-have for everyone who is contributing to national forest inventories either methodologically or operatively, for people who want or need to understand national forest inventory provided data and information on the availability of wood resources. By providing profound knowledge it is a valuable basis for scientists involved in scenario modelling and analysing effects of climate change, as well as individuals in private organisations and public administrations promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and the potential of green economy.

Book excerpt: In this important book Chris Maser covers the ecological characteristics of forests and asks -- what makes up a forest? He discusses the science and technology of forestry and the uncertainties we face in our attempts to manage forests throughout the world.Sustainable Forestry also deals with current management problems within the forestry profession, beginning with university training and ending with dysfunction in land management agencies. Important topics such as forest planning, establishing an environmental vision and resolving conflicts are also discussed.-- Provides a characterization of a forest as a dynamic living organism which is far more complex than just its trees-- Examines the fundamental issues concerning biological sustainability-- Suggests a new role for governmental forestry services as agents for change-- Discusses the importance of sustainability to critical natural resources such as water supply-- Discusses forest planning as the bridge between environmental conflict and a workable environmental/social vision of the future

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connections between communities and forests are complex and evolving, presenting challenges to forest managers, researchers, and communities themselves. Dependency on timber extraction and timber-related industries is no longer a universal characteristic of the forest community. Remoteness is also a less common feature, as technology, workforce mobility, tourism, and 'amenity migrants' increasingly connect rural to urban places. Forest Community Connections explores the responses of forest communities to a changing economy, changing federal policy, and concerns about forest health from both within and outside forest communities. Focusing primarily on the United States, the book examines the ways that social scientists work with communities-their role in facilitating social learning, informing policy decisions, and contributing to community well being. Bringing perspectives from sociology, anthropology, political science, and forestry, the authors review a range of management issues, including wildfire risk, forest restoration, labor force capacity, and the growing demand for a growing variety of forest goods and services. They examine the increasingly diverse aesthetic and cultural values that forest residents attribute to forests, the factors that contribute to strong and resilient connections between communities and forests, and consider a range of governance structures to positively influence the well being of forest communities and forests, including collaboration and community-based forestry.
