Book (stand-alone)Applying reduced impact logging to advance sustainable forest management 2002
Also available in:
No results found.There is growing awareness in timber-producing countries in the Asia-Pacific region of the great potential of reduced impact logging (RIL) to minimise the negative environmental and social consequences of commercial forest harvesting. Developed over several decades as a systematic approach to planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating forest harvesting, RIL has been tried on a small-scale in the region, with promising results. However, it is still to gain widespread acceptance. The public ation is a compilation of the papers discussed at an international conference to review current knowledge of the technical, economic, institutional and training aspects of RIL. It is meant to familiarise policy makers, scientists and senior forest managers with RIL issues with the aim of stimulating changes in attitudes and practices on the ground. After reviewing the insights provided by the conference, the editors identify knowledge gaps and offer recommendations for various stakeholders in th e forestry sector. -
