ArticleDeforestation trends and impact assessment of protected area designation in the South American tri-national Atlantic forests
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The South-American Atlantic Forest region spans the nations of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. It is one of the most ecologically diverse in the world, yet one of the most vulnerable to deforestation with little research examining trends and drivers. Conservation interventions can play a critical role in protecting this forest, but the impact of their implementation remains unclear. We assessed the effects of forest protected area (FPA) designation on avoided deforestation across the Atlantic Forest region between 2000 and 2020 using the most recently available remote-sensed data in combination with geo-referenced socio-economic descriptors. Applying a pseudo-randomized approach, we quantified factors explaining establishment of FPAs and compared deforestation rates. Results show FPA designation lowered the odds of deforestation by about 14%, which is significantly higher than past assessments in other Latin American regions. Effectively, the estimated deforestation rate within FPA-designated areas (~5%) was nearly four-times lower than in non-FPA forests (19%). Future studies are needed to assess the impacts of FPAs on the socioeconomic wellbeing of forest-dependent communities across the Atlantic forest.

ArticleConditions for successful local collective action in mangrove forest management: Some evidence from the Eastern coastal area of south Sulawesi, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Resource management characterized by Common Pool Resources (CPRs) requires collective action for its sustainable management. CPRs with “rivalry” and “non-excludable” features face overexploitation problems because unlike the nature of pure public goods, the use of CPRs by one user will reduce the chances of other users taking advantage of it. This study aims to analyze the most appropriate local institutions and tenure arrangements for sustainable mangrove management in Eastern coast area of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data and information were collected through in-depth interviews involving key informants selected by using snow- ball method and continued by Focus Group Discussion. Design principles for sustainable management of common pool resources from Ostrom has been used in this study as an analytical framework which illustrate the structure of rules established and imposed by the local CPR’s institutions. The findings show that collective action in sustainable mangrove management can be achieved through accepted rules and agreements that are participatory formulated. The agreed norms and rules have enacted as a benchmark for collective action in maintaining mangrove and to enforce sanctions for violators. The success of the community in sustainable mangrove resources management is mainly supported by the existence of several prerequisites that facilitate collective action. It is necessary to strengthen regulations both at the local and higher level through socialization to the community along with the development of incentive and disincentives system.

DocumentSystem and characteristics of forest trail in South Korea
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.As an improvement in the national income and leisure time drives more people to visit the forest trail for the purpose of recreation. One of the representative characteristics of establishment of forest trail in South Korea is that it focuses on the Baekdudaegan, which is the ridgelines of Korean Peninsula and ranges from Mt. Baekdu to Mt. Jiri, and Jeongmaek which is the continuous ridgelines of Baekdudaegan over 100km. The Sangyeongpyo, which is a traditional classification system of Korean Peninsula, demonstrates the concepts of Baekdudaegan in Korean Peninsula and Jeongmaek. However, only South Korea section of Baekdudaegan is available to walk on due to the situation of Korean Peninsula despite that it ranges between the entire Korean Peninsula. The total length of forest trail placed on the South Korea section of Baekdudaegan and the 9 sections of Jeongmaek is 701 km and 2,154 km, respectively. ‘Forest cultural recreation Act’ defines the Korean forest trail as a walkway established on the forest for the activities such as hiking, tracking, leisure sports, visit or recreation, healing. In the past, the most of Korean forest trail provided the basic vertical hiking culture based on Baekdudaegan mountain system. However, as the increase in recreational activities and needs for different activities in forest trail raised recently, the use type of forest trail has ranged from enjoying the surrounding area of mountain to leisure sports, healing and enjoying the scenery. Based on the change in the use type of forest trail, in 2011, the Act specified the concepts of forest trail into 6 types such as trails for hiking, tracking, forest leisure sports, visit or recreation, healing. 10 thousand forest trails in total are currently established in Korea and their length sum up to 40 thousand km. 93.5% of these trails are for hiking and they occupy 81.8% of the total length of all forest trail in South Korea.
