the harsh country were as unchanging to them as the stars and just as unyielding.

They dance her over the mountains and valleys, through fields and forests, through night and day.

Through the mountains and into the forest.

These are lands that are at the margins of forests, semi arid regions, mountains, wetlands and land corridors.

9. Underlines the importance of sustainable forest management, the avoidance of deforestation, as well as the restoration of lost and degraded forest ecosystems of mountains in order to enhance the role of mountains as natural carbon and water regulators

Reverse the loss of forest cover worldwide through sustainable forest management, including protection, restoration, afforestation and reforestation, and increase efforts to prevent forest degradation

Forest and Grassland Conversion

(c) Countries with arid and semi arid areas, forested areas and areas liable to forest decay

(vi) Undertake measures to prevent, monitor and fight forest fires, and to reforest destroyed areas

(iv) Rain on Colombia s Pacific coast increased the threat of landslides, while inland forest fires destroyed about 150,000 hectares

Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.

I found my magical ants, but only after a tough climb into the mountains where the last of the native Cuban forests hung on, and were then and still are being cut back.

(a) Disasters such as floods, earthquakes, forest fires, oil spills, drought and volcanic eruptions affect large parts of the globe and coordinated international efforts are required to minimize their impacts.

For example, the integration of local and indigenous communities in sustainable forest management has strengthened the implementation of the IPF IFF proposals for action.

Land use change and forestry

The jungle is not the place for him.

Forest ownership in the US is diverse it includes extensive private forests, federally managed forests and public forests managed by state and local governments as well as forests owned by native Indian tribes.12

Out of the total area of Bosnia and Herzegovina (5,113,000 hectares), forests and forest land account for 53 per cent (2,700,770 hectares or 0.71 hectares of forest and forest land per capita).

Rehabilitation and conservation strategies for countries with low forest cover Rehabilitation and restoration of degraded lands and promotion of natural and planed forests Maintaining forest cover to meet present and future needs Social and cultural, and economic, aspects of forests.

Millions of landmines continue to lie scattered in Cambodia apos s rice paddies, fields, forests, mountains, lakes and streams.

Benefits of FOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION

(y) Enhance access by households, small scale forest owners, forest dependent local and indigenous communities, living in and outside forest areas, to forest resources and relevant markets in order to support livelihoods and income diversification from forest management, consistent with sustainable forest management.

A forest may consist either of closed forest formations where trees of various storeys and undergrowth cover a high proportion of the ground or open forest.

In the rural areas of developing countries, forests and the forest industries may enhance employment and income generation.

The forest ecosystem and forest resources

(c) Agriculture and forestry, including forest inventory and monitoring (especially mapping of old growth forests and forestry on hilly areas) crop identification and monitoring harvest forecasting crop suitability soil classification (with emphasis on soil moisture and soil suitability measurements) mangrove cover and land cover

Understanding forest landscape restoration

How can increased community control of forests be harnessed for successful forest landscape restoration?

Combating deforestation and forest degradation

(d) Voluntary guidelines based on the Rio Forest Principles3 to support the implementation of the IPF IFF proposals for action on the ground

The deforestation rate in the 1990s was estimated at 14.6 million hectares per year since 5.2 million hectares were gained through afforestation and natural expansion of forests, the rate of net deforestation was 9.4 million hectares per year (see table).3 Most of the losses occur in the tropics, while in the non tropical regions forests are expanding either naturally (for example on large areas of abandoned agricultural land) or as a result of afforestation programmes.

In addition, considerable efforts are being made to improve natural forest management and recover forest loss through the Forestry Incentives Programme of the National Forestry Institute (INAB).

State owned forests and forest land is 81 per cent and private owned is 19 per cent.

(e) Ability to promptly detect various types of disasters, such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions

This is something called an underground forest.
