Annex B Report of the XI World Forestry Congress Technical
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.

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.

Republic of Korea's Proposal to Host XV World Forestry Congress 2021
Proposal to Host XV World Forestry Congress 2021 Republic of Korea - 1 - Supporting Messages Prologue The World Forestry Congress (WFC), the most significant global gathering for the forestry community, has been convened in the Asia-Pacific region only twice - in India in 1954 and in Indonesia in 1978. Yet, countries in Northeast Asia did not have the opportunity to hold the Congress. Held every six years, in close partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the host country, the next World Forestry Congress is expected to be held in the Asia-Pacific region taking into account the principle of regional rotation. With the extensive support from the Asia-Pacific region, the Republic of Korea has a strong will to host the XV WFC. Korea aims to share its successful experience of forest restoration and economic growth with the international community, and thus create a new momentum for the global forestry sector. The Korea Forest Service (KFS) will work closely with relevant government agencies as well as the Seoul Metropolitan Government to make the XV WFC a remarkable Congress. Korea’s Economic Growth and Forest Restoration The aftermath of the Korean War and extreme poverty led to heavy exploitation of forest lands. As a result, the country was trapped in a vicious cycle of deep poverty and environmental degradation. However, through efficient governance, active public engagement and strong political will, Korea achieved rapid economic growth and forest restoration at the same time. The government of Korea put its priority on soil erosion control by enacting the Forest Act in 1961.

A Cross-Border Deforestation Index to Understand Underlying Drivers of Deforestation
XIII World Forestry Congress Buenos Aires, Argentina, 18 – 23 October 2009 A cross-border deforestation index to understand underlying drivers of deforestation L.M See1, S. Fritz, I. McCallum, M. Obersteiner, and S. Bone This paper considers a preliminary investigation involving the development of a Cross-Border Deforestation Index (CBDI), which is an attempt to quantify the differences in deforestation between two countries or potentially any two administrative units. In this study, the focus was on countries. For each pair of bordering countries, a 50 km buffer zone was drawn and the average value of the Vegetation Continuous Field (VCF) was calculated for each country in the pair. The ratio of these two averages is the CBDI. Values of 1 indicate similar levels of forest cover but values greater than 1 point towards dissimilar land use policies within countries and/or sub-national administrative levels. This index was calculated for all pairs of bordering tropical countries in South and Central America, Asia and Africa. In addition, a visual analysis of the spatial variation of the VCF was undertaken to show how this can complement the CBDI. The results showed that countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Laos, Thailand and DR Congo, in combination with different neighbouring countries, all have CBDI values differing from 1. These areas are worth examining in greater detail in order to understand what types of drivers are behind these outlying CBDI values. These drivers could include land use policy, population pressure, accessibility, etc. Future work will include the addition of environmental factors. By computing the CBDI for so called Homogeneous Response Units (HRU: areas of similar or identical environmental conditions in terms of soil, altitude and slope), we will be able to examine the changing effect on the CBDI.
