DocumentThe current situation and perception analysis of forest carbon offset scheme in Korea
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.As the international community pays attention to the absorption of carbon using forests, Korea has been operating the Forest Carbon Offset Scheme since 2013. However, monitoring performance to be performed for certification is sluggish, and it was found that there is a limit to sustainable operation. This study aims to analyze current situation and perception of Forest Carbon Offset Scheme in Korea to suggest problems and direction of improvement.
Through literature surveys and interviews, in-depth interview questions were selected, and people in charge of transaction-type projects were interviewed in-depth. The Survey was conducted on people in charge, and the characteristics of perception were analyzed through descriptive statistical and frequency analysis.
The main expected effect was profit generation, and the overall perception of the expected effect decreased. Hindrances were in the order of "Concern about transaction possibilities", "Complexity of certification procedure", "Lack of competent professionals", "Lack of support costs for project planning", "Administrative delay" and "Lack of project operators’ expertise". Also, there were some issues in need of improvement in three aspects. First, there were issues with “Complexity of certification procedure”, “Lack of competent professionals”, “Lack of support costs for project planning”, and “Administrative delay” in system and operation. Second, there were issues with “Concern about transaction possibilities” in profitability. Third, there were issues with “Lack of project operators’ expertise”, “Gap between business purpose and expectation” in participants’ characteristics and perception.
This study proposed "Providing guidelines and information on the project through periodic identification of the people in charge", "Emphasizing awareness as a project for social contribution", and "Encouragement of revenue generation from non-carbon revenue sources" for improvement of scheme.

ArticleBiodiversity and carbon sequestration assessments for wetland management framework in the wetlands in Bangladesh for climate mitigation and adaptation
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The wetlands of Bangladesh are biologically diversified having a wide range of ecosystems ranging from northern region’s Haor to Mangrove forests of coastal zone of the country. Among these wetlands, there are two RAMSAR sites; Tanguar Haor and The Sundarbans. An updated inventory of the biodiversity and tree carbon stock is a timely demand as the climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation is of high significance in Bangladesh. This studies objective is to assess the floral (tree) diversity and above ground carbon stock per hector in and around the wetlands along with a wetland management framework for Bangladesh. this study uses both qualitative and quantitative method. This study adopts a nested plot inventory method to assess biodiversity assessment (diversity and evenness index) and carbon stock assessment. A total of 190 plots were taken in three different types of wetlands: 50 plots in Tangoar Haor, 50 plots in Kaptai Lake, 20 plots in Baikka Beel, 20 plots in Ratargul swamp forest and 50 plots in Hakaluki Haor. Additionally, 300 personal interviews along with 40 FGDs were carried out to obtain the people’s perception on biodiversity status in context of previous time. The study reveals that, the Shannon indexes for Tanguar Haor, Kaptai Lake, Baikka Beel, Ratargul swamp forest and Hakaluki Haor are 0.517, 0.779, 0.687, 0.279 and 0.828 respectively. It shows that the Ratargul have low biodiversity, whereas Hakaluki haor have higher biodiversity. Secondly the tree above ground carbon stocks tons per hectors for Tanguar Haor, Kaptai Lake, Baikka Beel, Ratargul swamp forest and Hakaluki Haor are 25.929, 59.210, 28.767, 31.538 and 33.587. The social data i.e., interview and FGD indicates a declining trend of tree species diversity in comparison past. The study results also provide comprehensive management framework involving malty level stakeholders for wetlands of Bangladesh.

ArticleSocial perception and importance of the Taal Volcano protected landscape to Tagaytay City tourists and residents
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of residents and tourists on the importance of Taal Volcano Protected Landscape (TVPL) in Tagaytay City, Cavite province. A survey was conducted among selected residents and tourists of Tagaytay City. Results of the study showed that tourists, unlike residents, have significantly higher knowledge and awareness levels, and have positive attitudes and perceptions regarding the importance of natural resources, conservation of TVPL, management of the PA, and the coexistence of tourism and conservation of natural resources. These positive perceptions strongly influence favorable attitudes towards conservation and the environmental protection and in turn generate good conservation values. On the other hand, majority of the residents have neutral to negative perceptions of TVPL and its impact and importance to Tagaytay City. A number of local residents, in contrast, also have a good level of knowledge, awareness, and positive perception on TVPL. However, this does not transcend to all sectors of the city. In order to guarantee sustainable use of natural resources and successful conservation of the protected area, knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of the public must be examined and considered in the development of policies and protected area management schemes.
