Sustainable Forest Use

This paper assesses the prospect of sustainable forest management (SFM) for an emerging economy like India, where forest coverage has gone up over the last three decades in spite of population growth, rapid urbanization and fast economic growth. To assess the possibility of sustainable future growth in a globally congenial environment, the extent of ecological stress on Indian economy has been assessed by using Input-Output transaction tables and pattern of expenditure by the Government and the Private sector along with Import and Export of forestry and related products over 1993-94 to 2007-08. The change in direct forest intensity (DFI) in gross domestic product has been calculated and decomposed into effects due to material intensity, structural change and economic growth. The results reveal increasing dominance of economic growth over other effects indicating necessity of designing intervention to decouple potential future economic growth from forest resources to ensure long run sustainability.

Sustainable Forest Use

The developed model and algorithmic implementation of a systematic approach to the principle of continuous, sustainable forest use can significantly improve the scientific validity of predictive calculations of its possible sizes depending on the level of intensification of forest management. All this allows us to pass from the consideration of private options to multivariate modeling of long term planning for both individual regions and for the whole country.

The Tropics

Forest decline in the tropical zone of the world has provoked an enormous amount of concern but, so far, few if any panaceas. Leaving aside the pervasive impact of clearance for agriculture to focus for the time being exclusively on the role of timber extraction in the moist tropics, it appears that, in present circumstances at least, commercial logging is effectively incompatible with sustainable forest use. For this reason there is a developing interest in the potential which private-sector plantation forestry may have, in these areas, for significantly contributing to both local and export timber needs and so relieving pressure on the remaining area of natural forest. The peculiarly long-term character of investment in trees, and the capital-poor nature of the countries concerned mean, however, that financial incentives will almost certainly be necessary if plantations are to have real consequence.It is in this context that the recent history of the forest programme in Ireland, the country with the lowest overall proportion of forest cover and the highest percentage of state (as opposed to private) forestry in the EC, may be relevant. Forestry incentives introduced in 1980, and aimed at landowners in the agriculturally disadvantaged western region, were initially ineffective, despite the region's comparative advantages for timber-growing. However, major additions to the level and range of support in the second half of the 1980s, led to an exponential increase in grant-uptake.The very success of the above scheme in recent years has caused it to be critized for the loss of large areas of bogland which have considerable environmental value but low potential for timber production in any normal investment sense. In addition, plantations in all parts of the region are overwhelmingly coniferous. More generous, country-wide incentives for environmentally desirable broadleafed planting are too new for it to be known what effect they will have on the afforestation of the better land. It seems almost certain, however, that attempts to reconcile productive and environmental aims in private forestryprogrammes inevitably increase their complexity and cost: this has undesirable implications for the possible transfer of such schemes to developing countries in the tropics.

The author analyzes the process of transformation of the role and significance of forests and forestry complex of the country over the past century in the historical point of view. The article reveals the modern features of the forest management system, forest economy and the organization of sustainable forest use, as well as the reasons for their appearance. The author also gives the recommendations and proposals for solving a number of problems related to rational forest management, fire prevention, and combating mismanagement in the framework of the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. Particular attention is paid to creation a correct economic model taking into account the peculiarities of the forest industry such as long-term period of growing forests, their multi-purpose value, as well as the requirements for organizing and planning a system of measures for the use and reproduction of forests.
