Decentralization in the forest sector should not be implemented in isolation from a general national forestry strategy such as national forest programs.

Almost 20 classes have been detected distinguishing different forest types in combination with forest management practices.

Subprogramme 9

Promote genuine community based forest management that empowers forest peoples.

(k) Identify and implement measures to enhance cooperation and cross sectoral policy and programme coordination among sectors affecting and affected by forest policies and management, with a view to integrating the forest sector into national decision making processes and promoting sustainable forest management, including by addressing the underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and by promoting forest conservation

(b) Each State is responsible for the sustainable management of its forests and for the enforcement of its forest related laws

All the forest is managed and covers about 34 per cent of the country apos s territory.

Agreed ad ref Increase significantly the area of protected forests worldwide and the area of sustainably managed forests and increase the proportion of forest products from sustainably managed forests

Disincentives for sustainable forest management.

International trade and sustainable forest management

The FAME concept was intended to overcome those limitations, enabling the forest manager to acquire information on forest changes directly where it was needed, in the office of the forest manager.

These could provide an articulation of the concept of sustainable forest management and help promote wider understanding of its importance.

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

ODA is given according to priorities of recipient countries, therefore forests must be prioritized and included in national poverty eradication plans.

strengthen the CPF to enhance the capacity of CPF members towards the implementation of sustainable forest management and proposals for action strengthen the capacity of the CPF to search for resources, such as the role played by IPCC for activities related to climate change strengthen guidance to the CPF and its members.

Emphasizing the need for sustainable management of all types of forests, including fragile forest ecosystems,

In order to reverse this trend, it will therefore be necessary to increase forest management and reafforestation and to control the most important factors contributing to forest loss (excessive tree felling, unsuitable planting practices and forest fires among others).

While deforestation and unsustainable management practices can lead to increased water pollution, sustainable forest management in watersheds can help to protect supplies of freshwater.

In many countries, forests and forest management have a low priority in economic, social and political agendas.

This encourages unsustainable practices, hampers financing for sustainable forest management and contributes to deforestation.

Forests are deeply entwined with other sectors of society and their management requires coordinated efforts and intersectoral approaches.

Purpose The purpose is to articulate international forest related agreements on the management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of sustainable forest management and to help achieve the goals decided upon at the fifth session of the United Nations Forum on Forests.
