No results found.Bearing tagline Sustainable Forest Sustainable Future, the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) recognises the importance and role of younger generations, deeply convinced that the future of sustainability lies in the hands of the future generations.
In this context, MTCC has intentionally collaborated/participated in a number of activities to sow seed of sustainability among the younger generations, among others as follows: (i) participated in the annual Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair (KLESF) to engage primary and secondary school children to inspire them to love and care for our valuable natural resource; (ii) presented education talks for architecture students at local universities - to raise awareness of the students on the importance of sustainable forest management and how they could contribute towards this cause in the future through specifying the use of PEFC/MTCS-certified timber in their building designs; (iii) collaborated with local universities to present MTCC academic awards to deserving graduating students in forestry related fields - to motivate and inspire these students to strive for excellence in their education as well as engage them to care for the forests and their sustainability; and (iv) organised MTCC Photography Contest- to raise public awareness on the beauty and benefits of Malaysia’s tropical forests while promoting the importance of valuing the nature and managing the green wonders through timber certification to benefit future generations.
The poster showcases the various activities conducted by MTCC towards this important endeavour. Keywords: Sustainable forest management, Youth and young generation, Education ID: 3486748

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture – Systems at breaking point (SOLAW 2021)
Synthesis report 2021
2021Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs.The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience. -
Book (series)Technical studyNational gender profile of agriculture and rural livelihoods
The Republic of Moldova
2022Also available in:
No results found.National gender profile of agriculture and rural livelihoods: the Republic of Moldova reflects FAO’s commitment to promoting gender equality, while integrating a gender perspective into its operations. The report focuses on the intersections of gender, agriculture and rural development, and presents a snapshot of critical gender-based inequalities and their consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods in the Republic of Moldova. A picture of significant gender gaps in terms of the rural population’s access to educational and employment opportunities and social services is presented. In the area of agricultural production, women have much more limited access to and control over vital resources, including land, extension and advisory services and irrigation. The assessment includes recommendations on enhancing agriculture and developing rural communities with a gender-sensitive perspective, taking into consideration gender roles and differences between women and men in access to productive resources, inputs and information. -
Book (series)GuidelineInland Fisheries. 1. Rehabilitation of inland waters for fisheries 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Many rivers, lakes and other inland waters have been modified and degraded by human activities. Rehabilitation of degraded systems and mitigation of impacts of ongoing stresses are needed to preserve ecosystem services and fisheries and are of a high priority if the aquatic biodiversity of inland waters is to be conserved. A number of technical solutions for rehabilitation and mitigation are available to restore habitat diversity, provide for environmental flows and ensure longitudinal and lateral connectivity within such systems. It is recommended that such methods are applied on a basin-wide scale but it is recognized that more restricted sections of waterbodies may have to be targeted. Planning for rehabilitation projects needs to be carefully conceived with clear objectives of the rehabilitation and selection methods to be used. Selecting appropriate methods for any particular waterbody depends on local, social and economic conditions and priorities. Land tenu re, local laws and the interests of other local stakeholders in the resource also need to be incorporated into rehabilitation plans. In international rivers and lakes, rehabilitation plans may need negotiation and cooperation by all riparian states. After execution, rehabilitation projects should be carefully monitored in order to meet the objectives.
