    307 ■ Annex B Report of the XI World Forestry Congress Technical Session No. 27 Better Addressing Conflicts in Natural Resource Use through the Promotion of Participatory Management from Community to Policy Levels Topic 27 20 October Aspendos Auditorium Chairman: Untung Iskandar Moderators: Abdoulaye Kane and Marilyn Hoskins Technical Secretaries: Sedat Ayanoglu and Katherine Warner Special Paper: Claude Desloges and Michelle Gauthier Panel: Silvano Aureoles Conejo, Berken Feddersen, Abdoulaye Kane and Diane Rocheleau Outcome of the Session General The session focused on various dimensions of forest resource conflicts in the context of community forestry, and the strategies and tools devel- oped to address such conflicts. There is growing evidence that if forestry is to play a key role in sustainable development, forest-dependent communities must be fully involved in both the decision-making process and actions concerning the land and resources they inhabit and use. Sustainable forest development will not be achieved if it fails to (1) consider the needs and aspirations of rural and forest- dwelling communities and (2) acknowledge and address, in an appropriate and Community Forestry Unit ■ Integrating Conflict Management Considerations into National Policy Frameworks ■ 308 timely way, the conflict situations created by competition for the use of forest resources. Participatory forest resource management is crucial in this context as it creates an environment in which all actors can harmonize diverging views and may collaboratively plan and act together. Participatory management embraces how forest and tree resources should be used for the benefits of all partners, including the environment and future generations. Case studies presented at the session emphasized the need to clearly identify power relationships between forest-dependent communities and other actors such as government institutions, private enterprises and NGOs.

MRNFP Research Note Abstract Québec is on the verge of becoming a dominant figure in the use of ecological information for forestry planning. Ecological information expresses ecological diversity. This diversity is presented in various ways, especially by the use of diagrams showing the forest dynamic that occurs among the various forest types observed, through a homogeneous combination of the soil and drainage (ecological type).

  • CAY the 'WET TROIPICIAL FOREST SURVIVE?*- Public Disclosure Authorized by JOHN S
    Conmonv. 7-or. Rev. 58 (3), 1979 CAY THE 'WET TROIPICIAL FOREST SURVIVE?*- Public Disclosure Authorized By JOHN S. SPEARST In this address, I intend to tackle a question about which much healthv controversy, but also considerable confusion has prevailed in the 1970s, namelv the implications of the continuing decline of the world's wet tropical forest area. I shall attempt to summarize what leading experts have saWi about this question during the 1970s, and to interpret, from a practicar forester's point of view, how their conclusions might alfect forestry management and investment decisions in the 1980s. The interpretations which I am making do not reflect an official view of the World Bank. In keeping with the objective of these annual Commonwealth Forestry Association meetings, they are primarily intended to provoke discussion. During the present decade, the rate of tropical deforestation has become a matter of interna- tional concern. The main questions being debated are: -How rapidly is the wet tropical forest being cut our and will it really disappear as some experts claim - wtchin the next 60 to 100 years? -Is there a viable land use alternative for the wvet- tropical forest lands? Public Disclosure Authorized -If the wet tropical forest were to disappear, what would be the global environmental and ecological consequences of its demise? -How will a further decline in the area of the tropical forests atfect future timber supplies? -Assuming that part of the wet tropical forests can be preserved, do natural forest manage- ment systems have any role or should they be replaced by more intensive plantation forestry? The rate of tropical forest destruction The extent to which leading world forestry experts agree on this question is hardly reassuring.

He is my hero and this is his accomplishment as much as it is mine. Next, I would be remiss without acknowledging the tremendous and never-ending support of my mother and chief editor, Mary Anne Woodrom; my dad and step-mother, Harold and Marilyn Woodrom; and my sister and assistant editor, Rebecca Reid and my brother-in-law, Lynn. My brother Roy Woodrom, whose generosity with his frequent flier miles sent me to ECOnference 2000, which set me on my path to study sea turtles as an undergraduate at Texas A&M. The rest of my extended family, especially my aunt Dr. Sandra Luna McCune for her editing assistance, also deserve acknowledgement for always being there for me regardless of the paths I choose to take.

  • XIV World Forestry Congress 7–11 September 2015, Durban, South Africa
    XIV World Forestry Congress 7–11 September 2015, Durban, South Africa The XIV World Forestry Congress to be held in Durban, South Africa, next year is gearing up to be the most dynamic and stimulating Congress yet. The first time that the largest and most significant gathering of the world’s forest sector is hosted in Africa will also be the first time that the Congress moves away from its traditional format. With a new interactive programme of interviews and debates on cutting-edge topics, hands-on demonstrations and innovative uses of digital and social media, sessions are being designed to engage a broad range of participants and ensure all voices are heard as the Congress shapes the sustainable future of forests and forestry. Read more about the goals of the Congress here. Registration to open soon Registration will open soon with details available on the main XIV World Forestry Congress website which is launching in the near future. Past Congresses have attracted between 3 000 and 7 000 participants and we welcome the participation of people from all countries, regions and sectors. Whether representatives of government or non-governmental organizations, private companies, academia, scientific or professional bodies, forestry associations, community organisations, local practitioners, or simply those who have a personal interest, we look forward to seeing you all in South Africa next year. Be part of the World Forestry Congress Programme You can help define a vision for forests by sharing inspiring ideas and solutions through presenting your technical work. In the spirit of diversifying from traditional panel presentations and making sessions more dynamic, we will be calling not just for papers and posters but also for short videos that showcase forest initiatives.
