The benefit of using good quality seeds from selected parent trees assures successful forest development and improved quality of forest stands. Globally, several policies have been adopted in support of the forest and genetic conservation. Several Cambodian laws and polices also support the restoration and genetic conservation of Cambodian forests. These include the Forestry Law of 2002, Sub-Decree on Community Forestry Management of 2003, National Forest Programme 2010-2029; National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2014-2018; Cambodia Energy Sector Strategy; and National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) of 2002. The Institute of Forest and Wildlife Research and Development (Cambodia) and the Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Environment (Vietnam) has jointly implemented a Regional Project: “Promotion of forest rehabilitation in Cambodia and Vietnam through demonstration models and improvement of seed supply system” that aims to promote reforestation and rehabilitation of degraded forests in Cambodia through demonstration of good practice of forest restoration and improvement of tree seed supply. Several interventions were implemented which include identification of seed sources of priority species in natural forest, tree species and seed suppliers. Early works on the conservation of genetic resources of Cambodia can be credited to the Danida’s Cambodia Tree Seed Project (CTSP). Some seed sources were established and currently became the sources of planting materials. These include seed sources of Dalbergia cochinchinensis in Banteay Srei, seed production area in Kbal Chhay watershed, and seed source in Phnom Kravanh district. Guidelines on the selection of mother trees and the collection of seeds have been well established. However, the proper seed collection is often compromised during seed actual seed collection. There are indications that many seeds used in Cambodia for restoration are improperly collected from mother trees of dubious traits. The project conducted demonstration of restoration using high density planting and direct seeding trials in the selected sites. The preliminary result of high density planting showed promising result for species like Khaya senegalensis, Delonix regia and Lagerstroemia

    A Field Trip's Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat

    mCÄmNÐlÉkßrkm<úCa DC-Cam’s Promoting Accountability Project A Field Trip’s Report in Veal Veng District, Pursat Province May 18-24, 2011 By Long Dany General Description and Brief History of Districts After the integration of the Khmer Rouge forces by the Cambodian government in 1996, Veal Veng was created as a district in Pursat province. Previously, Veal Veng had been one of the communes included within the Kravanh district. Veal Veng is approximately 120 kilometers from Pursat, and it can be reached by Road Number 56 which links Pursat and Veal Veng across the Kavanh district. The road between Pursat and Kravanh district is paved and smooth, but the road from the Kravanh district to Veal Veng is bumpy and rough. It is a gravel paved road with several old and ailing bridges. The Veal Veng district town is located 75 kilometers from the Thai border of the Trat province. The border checkpoint is called Thma Da. Nowadays, the authorities of both countries allow their citizens to cross the border only on Saturdays. Approximately 60 kilometers south of the Veal Veng district is the O Ta Som commune, where a Chinese company is building a hydroelectric power station. O Ta Som is just about 40 kilometers from the Koh Kong provincial town. Veal Veng comprises of five communes: Pramoy, Anlong Reap, O Ta Som, Kra Peu Pi, and Thma Da. Veal Veng has a population of 13,822 people—3,197 families. At the present time, the government is drafting a decree to create more communes and villages for Veal Veng because of its huge space of land.

Eddows 2 THE UTILIZATION OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA TIMBERS THE UTILIZATION OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA TIMBERS INTRODUCTION Tropical forests usually include a large number of timber species. Papua New Guinea is no exception, where a multitude of species make up the lowland rain for- est complex. The lowland rain forest system is the major forest type in Papua New Guinea and contributes the major percentage of the commercial timber species both for the domestic and the export market. The flora is somewhat similar in composition to that of the tropical rain forests of North Queensland in Australia and not unlike in species composition to parts of Af- rica. This similarity however does not extend into Malaysia where the species com- position differs remarkably in that the flora there is dominated by the family Diptero- carpaceae.

    Cambodia Central Cardamoms Protected Forest Project News from the Field May 2018 Conservation International Forty-five villagers from 3 communities in Koh Kong province in CCMNP participated in a 3-day study tour to look at bat guano production and business development in Pursat province (© CI/Photo by Narin) From January to March 2018, the team supported the management of the Central Cardamoms Mountains National Park (CCMNP) through patrolling and law enforcement in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment (MoE). In addition, they carried out biodiversity research and, through community engagement, focused on institutional development and expansion of alternative livelihood options. 1 Patrolling and enforcement The MoE ranger team conducted 106 patrols across the landscape. As a result, rangers confiscated 135 logs (40.25 m3 of timber) 2 vehicles, and 12 chainsaws, removed 90 snares, provided written warnings to 12 people, compiled 2 court cases of land clearing (amounting to 2.5 ha), and released 3 illegally poached pythons. Nine poles demarcating the protected area (PA)boundary were installed in Koh Kong province. The MoE rangers conducted a 3-day training on law enforcement and the compilation of court cases, one in Kampong Speu and the other in Koh Kong. Twelve CCMNP rangers attended. CCMNP rangers worked to identify the extent of land grabbing and conversion in O’Som. This was achieved using satellite imagery (Sentinel 2A, resolution 10 m X 10 m), ground verification, and the use of a Phanthom4 Drone (with a resolution of 8 cm). The study covered 517.16 ha and resulted in the MoE declaring the area to be a special zone for protection.

Biodiversitas 19: 620-625. Agroforestry is an ecologically and environmentally sustainable land use that offers great promise to carbon (C) sequestration. Forests play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through maintaining current carbon stores and by increasing the rate of carbon sequestration. Vegetation carbon stocks are necessary to be quantified to evaluate the carbon sequestration potential in the ecosystem. Reasonable methods for estimating tree biomass and carbon storage on forest land are increasingly crucial given concerns of global climate change. This study aimed to evaluate C sequestration potential by agroforestry in North Sumatra Indonesia. This study was conducted at the Agroforestry system in Aek Nauli, Simalungun District, North Sumatra. Data collection for primary data was done through a field survey. The present study was carried out to determine above ground tree biomass of Toona sureni (Blume) Merr and Coffea arabica. Data retrieval of T.

In a joint ceremony on 14 December 2011 in Rattanakiri province, community members of Le En village in Teun commune, Koun Mom district and La L’eun Kraen village in Ou Chum commune, Ou Chum district, received their certificates of collective land title for 1,454 hectares and 920 hectares, respectively. The third recipient-village, Andong Kraloeng in Sen Monorom commune, Ou Reang district in Mondulkiri province will be awarded communal land ownership for a total area of 1,425 hectares in January 2012. The three communities represent different indigenous peoples— Le En village is inhabited by Kreung and Tumpoun peoples while La L’eun Kraen village is composed mainly of the Tumpoun people. Andong Kraloeng village is made up of the Phnnong indigenous people. The communal land titles for indigenous peoples were approved late this year by relevant government ministries after three pilot communities submitted their applications in 2009. The right to collective land ownership for indigenous peoples is enshrined in the 2001 Land Law and in subsequent policies and legislation. The Royal Government of Cambodia also expressed its commitment at the international level for indigenous peoples’ land rights when it voted in favour of the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007.
