Towards better awareness
2002Trees outside forests, together with forests and other woodlands, play an essential role in solving problems of rural and urban populations. They contribut to the structure of the landscape, generate numerous environmental and socialservices, and yield important food products for the people and for meeting other domestic needs. People, however, are not fully benefiting from these important roles, because trees outside forests are neither well perceived nor well documented, and receive little att ention in the formulation of national forestry policy and planning. This document is a product of important synthesis work and collaboration, and an attempt to fill in the gaps. It presents the concept and role of trees outside forests, analyses the problems and challenges, and outlines the path of thinking and action towards a better and more complete consideration of the resources amd their integration in territorial management policies. -
