DocumentOverseas forest resource development projects through cooperation with local residents (focused on New Zealand and Maori)

No results found.In October last year, Russia announced a policy to ban the export of softwood logs and high-balue hardwood logs. It further inreased the number of countries that regulate log exports. New Zealand, which has about 1,697,000 hectares of production forests, accounts for 70 percent of Korea's softwood log imports as of 2020. This ratio was possible due to the steady growth of New Zealand forest industry. New Zealand has recorded an average annual growth rate of 6% in wood productions since 2015. Accordingly exports to overseas account for about 58 percent.
Among the reasons for this rise is the cooperation with the Maori, a native of New Zealand. The Maori which account for about 15% of New Zealand's population owns 40 percent of the commercial afforestation. They are the long-term investors considering thier environmental social and cultural influences. The total value of Maori's economic asset has skyrocketed over the past 15 years due to the growth of forests and forestry. New Zealand's timber sector also had $6.6 billion annual export revernue.
As in the case of New Zealand and the Maori, sustainable forest management requires cooperation with local community. Keywords: Sustainable forest management ID: 3623052 -
ArticleEnhancing inclusive management and cooperation of forests for persons with disabilities in Kenya

No results found.Kenya is one of the richest countries when it comes to natural forest terrains categorized as protected. These areas embrace various types of ecosystems namely: forests, wetlands, savannah, marine, arid and semi-arid. The areas are managed by two State Corporations: the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) mandated enhance forest management and to conserve and manage wildlife in Kenya respectively whereas enforcing related laws and regulations. Despite the existing legislations, the access of the forest terrains by persons with disabilities (PWDs) remains unaddressed due to lack of inclusive standardized guidelines. Under this premise, the objective of the study is to establish the existence of inclusive forest access policies in Kenya, as well as explore best practices that can be incorporated on inclusive regulations for forests without boundaries. The study will use an online survey to collect primary data and synthesize the literature to ascertain the extent to which PWDs can access forest landscapes and terrains. The findings of this study will be beneficial to various stakeholders in the forest management sector: Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, development agencies and all stakeholders within the forestry sector.

DocumentCommunity forest certification and stakeholders cooperation: An inclusive approach to enhance community capacity while meeting market demand on sustainably-certified products

No results found.Community forestry has begun a way to manage forest by involving surrounding communities. Indonesia has 2.6 million hectares of community forest with potential wood stock 74.7 million m3 (Ministry of Forestry Statistical Report, 2014). It is also indicated that the amount of timber harvested by communities has increased during the last decade, reaching more than 5 million m3 annually. When the logs production from the community forest tends to increase, its wood stock sustainability becomes concern to some stakeholders. Further, community forest holders who are typically small scale operations also become a consideration in implementing community forest certification. The study focus on the approach of IFCC and PEFC in building community forest certification scheme as a tool to enhance community capacity in managing the forest whilst also as a market-based instrument by linking market demands of sustainably-certified products with its producers. IFCC[1] has developed the community forest certification system with its objective to cooperate with multi stakeholders in enhancing community capacity to manage forest sustainably and meet the market demand. The development of IFCC standard for community forest was implemented in manners that are open, transparent and consensus-based.
[1] IFCC is an organization of scheme owner and developer of sustainable forest management in Indonesia which has been endorsed by Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) since 2014.
