ArticleDoes co-management in Bangladesh a solution for vertical linkage between the local stakeholders and government for ensuring forest governance for climate mitigation?

No results found.Bangladesh is a developing country with high population density. The forest cover of Bangladesh is blessed with rich biodiversity. Besides, forests provide us every necessary product. So, conservation of existing forest resources is essential for meeting our daily needs and as well as mitigating climate change effect and adaptation efforts. Management of existing forest resources is not an easy task because there exists always an implementation problem since the very beginning. In the past the forest areas of Bangladesh were managed by the Forest Department (FD) through traditional forest management practices. But, in today’s time the fluffiest scenario has been converted. Now a days people-oriented approaches are getting popularity for their effective results. Co-management in protected areas is considered being one of the effective approaches. As local community have priority in this approach for taking decisions with the other relevant stakeholders so, strong vertical linkage between the local stakeholders and the government is needed for ensuring fruitful conservation efforts. Otherwise, conflicts will be arrived in different phases of management. This paper focuses on analysis of the present condition of forest co-management approach in Bangladesh, to identify the multiple actors and institutions of co-management and to show how co-management can be a solution for ensuring vertical linkage between the stakeholders and the government such as; the participation of local community in decision making creates links with the state actors. These fundamental issues are illustrated with observations on resource co-management in some Protected Areas (PA) of Bangladesh. This study demonstrates the form of vertical interplays and determines its contribution to provide guideline for entire community participation, Proper policy implementation.

ArticleImplementation status and Suggestions for Korea’s SDG 15 (Life on Land)

No results found.Forests take a critical role in SDGs in that SDG 15 (Life on Land) supports to prevent desertification, promote deforestation neutrality and halt biodiversity loss. At this point, this analysis aims to investigate closely detailed targets and indicators of Korea’s SDG 15 which are related to the forestry sector because South Korea is closely connected with forests territorially. Therefore, this analysis first looked into the current situation in South Korea across the targets of SDG 15 and consequently evaluated each indicator by comparing them with the related national policies. As a result, it was identified that 1) the forest-related targets and indicators involve a lot of potential of synergies and trade-off with other SDG’s indicators and 2) efforts to improve the current institutional systems are required from political, economic, social, and technological aspects. Of them, SDG 7 is significant because they can support the achievement of overall SDGs including SDG 15 if the offsets between them and SDG 15 are resolved. In addition, SDG 11 is also required to be improved over various indicators in order to reinforce the synergies with SDG 15. However, there was a limitation to evaluate all the indicators of K-SDG 15 since the whole detailed targets and indicators of K-SDG have not yet been completed in terms of systems for their implementation and evaluation. Therefore, this analysis also suggests the need to complete the system in the near future. Keywords: K-SDG, Forests, Synergies, Trade-off, Attainability ID: 3623884 -
ArticleProjection modeling-based geospatial analysis of land use-land cover change at Hasdeo River Watershed, Chhattisgarh, India
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The land-use change in the Hasdeo River watershed has been observed with all its subwatersheds. The changing patterns may portend localized impairment to forest and agricultural watershed. In this study, Land-use land-cover (LULC) change was modeled using terrset modeling software. The Hasdeo river watershed (geographical extent of 10,396.373 km2) is a part of the Mahanadi River basin in Chhattisgarh, India. Hasdeo River originates from Sonhat (Koriya district, Chhattisgarh, India) and is submerged into the river Mahanadi. It flows in the stretch of 330 km from north to south direction. This river has eight subwatersheds with rich forest diversity and perennial water resources. IRS-1D & P6 LISS3 images from the years 2000 and 2013 were used to investigate the LULC pattern. This has been used for the prediction of LULC change patterns for the years 2035 and 2050 based on the Markov model. The result of the project LULC map for the year 2000-2035 and 2000-2050 shows that the dense forest area will decrease by 12.30% and 15.68% respectively. The settlement area will significantly increase by 20.13% (2035) and 34.90% (2050) and will be the dominant land-use type in the watershed. It shows that population pressure will directly affect forest vegetation and agriculture activities. This study will be helpful for the effective sustainability approach for maintaining the proper LULC pattern of LULC pattern of land-use change in the watershed. This changing pattern will also influence the farming pattern in the catchment area of the Hasdeo River watershed.
