Multiple-Use Forest Management in the Humid Tropics
ISSN 0258-6150 FAO 173 FORESTRY 173 PAPER FAO FORESTRY PAPER 173 Multiple-use forest management in the humid tropics: opportunities and challenges for sustainable Multiple-use forest management in Multiple-use forest management the humid tropics in the humid tropics OpportunitiesOpportunities andand challengeschallenges forfor sustainablesustainable forestforest managementmanagement Opportunities and challenges for sustainable forest management The multiple-value nature of forests has long been appreciated and used by forest-dependent people in the tropics. Explicitly managing for some or all of these values – multiple-use forest management – is stipulated in the laws of many countries, but its formal implementation in the tropics is thought to be rare. This paper reports on three regional assessments carried out to identify and draw lessons from on-the-ground initiatives in multiple-use forest management in the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin and Southeast Asia. In all three regions, information was collected through interviews with country-based forestry experts, forest managers and technicians. A complementary, Web-based questionnaire further examined the reasons for the successes and failures of multiple-use forest management initiatives. The paper concludes that forest managers need more support if they are to realize the potential of multiple-use forest management. Greater effort is needed to eliminate unfair competition from operators whose sole objective is to extract timber, with little or no concern for multiple uses. In most countries, the demarcation of a permanent forest estate and the development of national land-use plans would increase investment in multiple-use forest management. Improving the value of logged-over forest through silviculture would also increase the uptake of multiple-use approaches. -

Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed:______________________Date: _____________________ 2 They [indigenous people] know they have their rights and nobody can ignore them without being punished. They know they have a voice and it is being heard (Defensoria del Pueblo (Office of the Ombudsman) (DDP) representative) (NSI4R1) If I could make a call to … Petro[peru] and the state, to come see this problem, because they have put information on [the] internet saying that the problem is over but we know it [isn]’t and we see things coming down from the gorge and we want them to come again even if only to visit us and explain why they left us behind. That’s what I want to ask you, that you … could make this call from … Cuninico town, that some state organisation come to give us a hand because we haven’t heard from them. Why did they leave us? They abandoned us (Cuninico resident IRC13). Brothers, I ask you … please make this reach the government. Make them concerned about us. Pity us. That they’ll have a Christian heart. So that we can survive. We don’t want to die, we want to live. -
