This is why forest management is to be based on a sincere and complete association of local people to forestry interventions with the aim of getting foresters and local population both realise that the participation of everybody is absolutely needed for a successful action. In the case of the Juniper forests in South Kyrgyzstan, where poor economic conditions (lack of energy resources and unemployment) force local people to use the natural resources in an irrational and excessive way, there is an urgent need to find out adapted measures to stop the depletion and promote sustainability. The association of local users to the proposed solutions is urgently required. This is why one of the main objectives of the European Union JUMP project through the introduction of Integrated Management Plans, is to take into consideration the human pressure on forest, the local needs, the present socio-economic conditions and the expectations at village level, the local users being considered as final beneficiaries. The methodology developed through the European Union JUMP project for this purpose is the Village Land Use Planning (VLUP), already experimented in other countries with similar conditions. It consists in participatory procedures that aim at finding commonly accepted solutions among foresters and villagers, taking into consideration not only the forest itself, but also the activities which are carried out at the level of the whole local society. A compromise indeed has to be established between the ecological need to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem, the economic requirements from the Forestry Department to guarantee the viability of forest management, and the social demands from the local users. These integrated management plans are intended to provide goods and services to local people without decreasing the potential of the resource for the future generations. For such a purpose, the involvement of local population is absolutely needed in the technical, economic and social actions to be carried out. Such management plans established in a participatory way alone will ensure the sustainability of the resource for the benefit of the future generations. Prof. Gérard BUTTOUD ENGREF, Nancy, France 6 7 CHAPTER 1 VILLAGE LAND USE PLANNING USING PARTICIPATORY RURAL APPRAISAL AS A TOOL FOR INVOLVING PEOPLE IN FOREST MANAGEMENT ISSUES 1.1 The Village Land Use Planning (VLUP) a) Need of new approaches to promote Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) In many developing countries all over the world, economy weaknesses and social dissension have resulted in an irrational use of the natural resources. Forests may represent one of the main concerns in this regard, since they are at the mean time

HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES Flash Appeal for Kyrgyzstan calls for US$71 million to assist over 1 million people Kyrgyz forces have begun removing barriers in Osh Official reports of returns of refugees to Kyrgyzstan Assessment mission in Uzbekistan finds Government response well organized, but additional support is needed The volume of emergency supplies arriving at Andijan is increasing II. Situation Overview Kyrgyz forces began removing barriers in the city of Osh in southern Kyrgyzstan on 20 June, but reports indicate that obstacles still lie in the streets leading to several neighbourhoods. Communities have barricaded themselves inside Osh since the outbreak of violence 10 June. Overall, the situation remains tense and humanitarian access to the most affected regions in the south continues to be limited. The Government has extended the state of emergency in the Osh province districts of Uzgen and Aravan until 25 June. The security situation is still the main obstacle for humanitarian aid delivery. According to UNOSAT’s initial satellite imagery analysis there are 2,000 to 3,000 houses destroyed in Osh, most in residential areas. There has been little cross-border movement reported in the last 24 hours. The Kyrgyz Border Guard Service has reported that a total of 4,559 ethnic Uzbek nationals of Kyrgyzstan have returned to the country – most of these were returning to Kadamjay district in Batken province on 18-19 June.
