Hello Silk has an ISO 14001 Environmental Certification. Its wood fibre comes from sustainable forests; it is totally Chlorine free, fully recyclable and biodegradable. Copies: 1500 March 2003 Page 2 Message from the president The year 2002 has been an exciting one for Tropenbos International (TBI). In March, TBI organised a two-day international seminar on the role of new financing mechanisms in forest and biodiversity conservation in the tropics. Over 220 scientists and policy makers from 41 countries participated and contributed to the formulation of useful recommendations. Their central message was that the crucial role of forests in climate regulation, watershed management, erosion control and biodiversity conservation should generate revenues for local forest users and forest owners as an incentive to pursue forest conservation and sustainable management and as compensation for foregone benefits. Forest conservation efforts cannot be effective without such mechanisms. Training and capacity building should also play a role. Other important recommendations involved information exchange and further investigations into local opportunities and willingness to pay for services or products. These recommendations, together with experiences on indigenous management of natural resources and participatory monitoring of biodiversity, were presented during the 6th Conference of Parties (CoP-6) of the Convention on Biological Diversity, which was held in The Hague. The seminar in March coincided with a farewell party for Director Erik Lammerts van Bueren, who left TBI after twelve years of dedication and convincing leadership. His ambition and enthusiasm brought TBI to its current position. It was our task as General Board to find a suitable successor. After an extensive selection procedure we found a capable successor in the person of biologist Dr René Boot; former project leader of the Tropenbos-Guyana programme and Programme Leader of the Programa Manejo de Bosques de la Amazonía Boliviana (PROMAB). René’s scientific experience lies in the field of forest ecology and sustainable forest use. Another important development in 2002 occurred in the field of communication. The TBI programmes in Colombia, Ghana, Indonesia and Vietnam and the office in Wageningen were all strengthened with the arrival of Junior Communication Experts, granted by DGIS from their Junior Expert programme. In 2003, a sixth Junior Expert is to start assisting in the management of TBI-Ghana. This impulse for communication enables TBI to bridge the gap between science and society even more effectively. Old and new research results are to be translated into targeted information for the different stakeholders. In this annual report we are going to present more specific information on this mission in the communication and programme sections. Against the background of these changes, it was a challenge to develop the programmes in Ghana and Vietnam, to reorganise the programmes in Indonesia and Colombia, to explore additional opportunities in Surinam and to bring the World Bank project Campo-Ma’an in South Cameroon to a successful conclusion. Throughout all the changes, TBI is maintaining its focus on ‘improving tropical forest management – for people, conservation and sustainable development’.

In 2002, this network of dedicated people and institutions together made substantial progress in the design and implementation of new programmes in Ghana and Vietnam, and recently in Suriname. The TBI-Ghana programme is running slightly ahead of the others. There a steering committee was appointed and consultations with stakeholders in the forestry sector were held. Thereafter, our partner organisations formulated research and training proposals which specifically address the previously determined demand for information and training. Finally, the Steering Committee approved a coherent work plan made up of some of these proposals. The development of the TBI-Vietnam programme has run a similar course. A detailed work plan elaborated by Vietnamese institutions and TBI staff is to be signed soon. The signing of this document will conclude the preparatory and planning phase and at the same time open the way for its implementation. The newly to be developed TBI-Suriname programme, on the other hand, is still lagging behind a little but TBI’s relationship with key institutions in the forestry sector in this country will ensure that the programme can be developed relatively quickly. The same approach to programme development is also beginning to yield results in Indonesia and Colombia. All these programmes have three basic features in common. First, they are owned at local or national level which means that responsibility lies with forest users, policy makers and partner organisations in the host countries. Secondly, research and training is demand-driven and only formulated after sector-wide consultations have taken place. Finally, the results are translated and made accessible to forest users and policy makers so as to secure their uptake. This approach is, without doubt, time consuming and its transaction costs are high. However, building strong partnerships and developing locally-owned programmes takes time. Perhaps it is fair to say that for some things – like building partnerships that work – there is no shortcut to success. Having seen these results first hand I am confident that this approach

Understanding what influences their presence is critical for managers, conservationists and planners. This study presents results of a comprehensive inventory of the tree species and site characteristics in the Vietnamese Cat Ba National Park (CBNP). An adaptive cluster sampling technique was applied to study the effect of human disturbance, soil properties, and terrain conditions on the presence of IUCN Red List tree species (all individuals > 5 cm diameter at breast height) in three strictly protected areas in CBNP, which have varying levels of isolation. Data from 239 sample plots (500 m2 each) were analyzed. Tree species recorded during the inventory were assigned to two categories: IUCN Red List and other. Our results showed that site characteristics differed in the three protected areas along with the presence of IUCN Red List tree species. IUCN Red List tree species were more frequently found on less favorable soils (low soil depth) and in terrain with more pronounced slopes and with a higher rock surface area (%).

The aim of this study was to elucidate vegetation patterns of a secondary hillside rainforest remnant (elevation 120–330 m, 76 ha) as an outcome of natural processes, and anthropogenic processes linked to changing forest values. Methods: In the rainforest remnant tree species and various bio-physical parameters (relating to soils and terrain) were surveyed on forty 20 m × 20 m sized plots. The forest's vegetation patterns and tree diversity were analysed using dendrograms, canonical correspondence analysis, and other statistical tools. Results: Forest tree species richness was high (172 in the survey, 94 per hectare), including many endemic species (>16%; some recently described). Vegetation patterns and diversity were largely explained by topography, with colline/sub-montane species present mainly along hillside ridges, and lowland/humid-tropical species predominant on lower slopes.

However, numerous recent case studies in the Vietnamese highland found that socio-ecological dynamics were highly complex on a local scale, resulting in unintended policy impacts and varying policy success among regions. While such complexity has become apparent, it has been difficult to understand and compare between regions, as assessment methods and targeted aspects of socio-ecological dynamics differed between case studies. In this review, complex socio-ecological dynamics in Hong Ha Commune in Thua Thien Hue Province were identified in published case studies and organized into complexity features based on the coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) framework, to make information more accessible and comparable under the widely applied framework.

    Van and Cochard Forest Ecosystems (2017) 4:9 DOI 10.1186/s40663-017-0095-x RESEARCH Open Access Tree species diversity and utilities in a contracting lowland hillside rainforest fragment in Central Vietnam Yen Thi Van1 and Roland Cochard2* Abstract Background: Within the highly bio-diverse ‘Northern Vietnam Lowland Rain Forests Ecoregion’ only small, and mostly highly modified forestlands persist within vast exotic-species plantations.

Vegetation patterns and diversity were largely explained by topography, with colline/sub-montane species present mainly along hillside ridges, and lowland/humid-tropical species predominant on lower slopes. Scarcity of high-value timber species reflected past logging, whereas abundance of light-demanding species, and species valued for fruits, provided evidence of human-aided forest restoration and ‘enrichment’ in terms of useful trees. Exhaustion of sought-after forest products, and decreasing appreciation of non-wood products concurred with further encroachment of exotic plantations in between 2010 and 2015. Regeneration of rare tree species was reduced probably due to forest isolation.
