Policy briefPolicy briefForest Biodiversity Conservation. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. GMS Forest Policy Brief 03 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Most of the terrestrial biodiversity within the Greater Mekong Subregion is contained within forests and although other forest areas are important, protected areas are the mainstay for biodiversity conservation. Habitat destruction and extraction of high-value species are major threats. Ecosystem stability is based on interdependence among constituent species and with biodiversity loss, resilience to change is reduced. Awareness raising, stringent environmental impact assessments, and improved l aw enforcement are required. -
Policy briefPolicy briefBack to Basics: Field-Level Forestry. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. Forest Policy Brief 02 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Institutional frameworks that fail to provide incentives to invest in forest management and a succession of high-level national and international priorities in forestry mean that field-level activities are often overlooked. The health and vitality of forests in the Asia-Pacific region and their productivity are often compromised as a result. With demands on forests increasing and climate change threatening, efforts to maintain ecosystem services and benefits from forests should focus attention o n effective management at the field level. -
Policy briefPolicy briefReinventing Forest Policies and Institutions. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. Forest Policy Brief 04 2011
Also available in:
No results found.With demands on forests expanding and diversifying, and the forestry agenda becoming increasingly fragmented, institutions responsible for forest management must compete with and complement other sectoral interests to prove their worth to society. Institutional restructuring or “reinvention” may be necessary to grasp opportunities and ensure that society’s demands are effectively and efficiently provided for. In particular, institutional structures need to reflect transitions in forest policies from timber-focused management to focus on protection, conservation and management for a wide range of goods and services.

DocumentOther document中国的粮食和农业生物学多样性国家报告 2019
Also available in:
No results found.These country reports are prepared as a contribution to the FAO publication, The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. The preparation of Country Reports provided an overview of existing information gaps and helped to establish a baseline information on biodiversity for food and agriculture. They also provided information on the role of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the provision of multiple ecosystem services. These country reports helped to address the following questions: • What is the state of the conservation and use of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, ecosystem services and sustainability? • What trends can be identified in the conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture and in the effects of major drivers of change? • How can conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture be improved and the contributions of biodiversity to food security and nutrition, ecosystem services, sustainability and the improvement of livelihoods of farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and fisher folk be enhanced? -
