New Challenges for Community Forestry: Sharing Scientific Knowledge in a South – North Perspective Remscheid, GERMANY, 23 New Challenges for Community Forestry: Sharing Scientific Knowledge in a South – North Perspective Remscheid, GERMANY, 23. – 25. September 2013 Community Forestry (CF) aims to improve the livelihood of local people as well as the condition of natural resources on which they depend for their living. It is assumed that if local people are involved in decision-making processes concerning natural resources, they develop a sense of ownership and start using the natural resources in more conservative way. The involvement of local natural resource users will contribute to sustainable practices, leading to various positive outcomes for the direct users and natural resources. Background: Today, community forestry has gathered a worldwide scientific community and many programs have achieved considerable success in practical terms. Nevertheless, new trends in forest and environmental governance have introduced new challenges that community forestry must face. The objective of the conference is to share the latest scientific knowledge and expertise in community forestry around the world, and it seeks to present innovative ideas in community forestry. A major topic will be the contribution of community forestry toward overcoming current challenges, including community-based forest governance, forest-climate change, the urbanisation of forest owners, biodiversity decline, equity amongst forest users (including gender issues) and the role of community forests as sustainable energy suppliers.

The development objective of the pre-project PPD I 9199 Rev. , (F); "Strengthening Sustainable Management of Natural Forest in Asia-Pacific" is to promote the contribution of forest harvesting to sustainable management of tropical forest in Asia-Pacific countries. It is expected that after the pre-project completion the awareness of improves forest harvesting practices will have been significantly raised and political support for the implementation of the Code secured. To implement a comprehensive training programme and to operationalize demonstration sites for RIL implementation there is a need to understand the status of forest management particularly state of the art on forest harvesting in each Asia Pacific country.

  • Fuelwood Use and Availability in Bhutan: Implications for National Policy and Local Forest Management
    Hum Ecol (2014) 42:127–135 DOI 10.1007/s10745-013-9634-4 Fuelwood Use and Availability in Bhutan: Implications for National Policy and Local Forest Management Sangay Wangchuk & Stephen Siebert & Jill Belsky Published online: 6 December 2013 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 Abstract Fuelwood is the principal energy resource for mil­ energy source for over 2 billion, primarily poor people (FAO lions of households around the world, yet its use, availability 1997;Pattanayaket al. 2004) and fuelwood harvesting ac­ and management remain poorly understood in many areas. We counts for over 54 % of total annual wood removal from document fuelwood consumption, growth/yield and standing forests (Bhatt and Sachan 2003). Approximately 1.7 billion biomass in a Bhutanese village and alpine area used season­ m3 of fuelwood and charcoal were produced globally in 2004 ally by villagers where the government is concerned about (IEA 2006) and wood-based fuels comprise about 80 % of harvesting in a recently designated national park. Pinus total household energy consumption (Sharma and Banskota wallichiana was the only fuelwood used in the village and 2005) and 35 % of total energy use in developing countries assessments suggest 52 ha could sustain local needs at current (Dovie et al. 2004). Low income countries account for about consumption levels (54 m3/household/yr). In contrast, Rho­ 90 % of global fuelwood consumption (Broadhead et al. dodendron aeruginosum was used in the alpine site and at 2001) and the number of people who depend on fuelwood is current consumption rates all will be consumed by 2023. Our increasing with at least 1.7 billion expected to do so in Asia findings emphasize the need to manage fuelwood based on alone by 2030 (Arnold and Persson 2003;IEA2006 ).

    workshop proceedings Inaugural session The workshop was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, His Excellency, Mr. Badri Prasad Mandal, Minister, Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation, His Majesty's Government of Nepal. Dr. James Gabriel Campbell, Director General, ICIMOD, welcomed the chief guest and other invitees to the opening session and expressed his special appreciation to the participants from both Nepal and abroad for making the effort to attend the workshop in spite of the long distances involved in some cases. He said that the level of representation from His Majesty’s Government at the opening session, in the presence of none other than the Minister for Forest and Soil Conservation, is a testimony to the importance attached to community forestry in Nepal. Being closely associated with the evolution of community forestry in Nepal, he expressed his satisfaction with the tremendous positive impacts that the scheme had brought about in the livelihoods of the people in the hills of Nepal and to their environment. He expressed his wish that some of the lessons learned during the course of implementing the various community forestry projects supported by many long-time supporters, such as SDC, GTZ, the World Bank, DANIDA [Danish International Development Agency], and DFID [UK Department for International Development], could be shared with participants from other countries. Likewise, there were a number of areas in which participants from Nepal could benefit from the experiences of other countries: viz., managing rangelands, wetlands, and protected areas. Mr. Paul Egger, Head of the East Asia Division, SDC, welcomed the guests and participants on behalf of SDC, and then gave a presentation on the interactions between forest policy and land use patterns using Nepal as an example (full text of the presentation provided in Volume II).

  • Community Forestry in Bhutan Contributes to Poverty Reduction While Maintaining the Sustainability of the Resources
    Proceedings: International Conference on Poverty Reduction and Forests, Bangkok, September, 2007 Community Forestry in Bhutan Contributes to Poverty Reduction While Maintaining the Sustainability of the Resources K.J. Temphel1 and Hans J.J. Beukeboom2 Community Forestry (CF) in Bhutan started to take off in 2000. As of June 2007, 46 community forests had been approved covering about 4,200 hectares with 2,192 households involved. With the potential to reach 69% of the population (about 95,000 rural households) it has great potential for livelihood improvement. By law the rural population already has access to construction timber and fuelwood against subsidized rates (so-called rural timber supply), but with CF the communities are allowed to sell excess products (both wood and nonwood) as the Forest and Nature Conservation Rules, 2006 created an enabling environment to sell excess products. CF also makes timber for own consumption more easily available as no permits are required after the management plans have been approved. The sale of excess nonwood forest products (NWFPs) from CFs started a few years ago and the number of community forests selling NWFPs is increasing. In late 2007, the first excess timber from two CFs was sold. This shows the benefits and also the potential of how CF contributes to poverty reduction as communities receive income from it. Several communities have the management rights over their NWFPs and thus also the right to sell these products to “outsiders,” thus creating income for the community forest members. Several initiatives have started to establish small-scale enterprises to either produce or sell products in an organized way so communities can benefit even more.

However, some constraints have appeared which prevent the full realization of the potential offered by the devolution of ownership or management rights to the rural population. As identified in various international fora (International workshop on participatory forestry in Africa, 2002, Forum on the role of forestry in poverty alleviation, 2001), one of these constraints is the unrealistic requirements imposed on rural communities for the preparation of forest management plans. This is in this context that FAO started to look at existing attempts and experiences to solve this problem in various part of the world. This work has resulted in this working paper which has been prepared with the support of a number of persons. The main source of the information on which this working paper is based is a survey conducted by Mr.
