The Relationship

Recent research investigating the relationship between protected areas and sustainable forest management has revealed the need for clarity of language if cooperation is to move forward. Here, we develop a parallel framework to compare the concepts of protected areas and sustainable forest management. We address the challenge inherent in the concept of protected areas as places and sustainable forest management as a process or paradigm. Our framework outlines dominant values, management paradigms, and terms for the places managed under each paradigm. Key words: protected areas, sustainable forest management, terminology

Negative Impacts

Protected areas have greater role in the biodiversity conservation, sustainable forest management and livelihood improvement. Government of Nepal has different provisions for the management of such areas. Centralized conservation concept has broadened to participatory and people centred approach. Landscape approach is the latest one in this field. There are various benefits of the declaration of the protected forest, and initiatives are also being taken from the Governmental sector, but along with that several negative impacts are also being witnessed. A clear strategy is needed in this regard. This paper talks about the development of the participatory approach, government initiatives and positive and negative impacts and the challenges ahead.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/init.v4i0.5543The Initiation Vol.4 2011 111-114

The Relationship

Supporters of sustainable forest management and forest certification are seeking to improve worldwide forest practices. Groups involved in the forest sector will have to adapt themselves to respect new environmental regulations, standards, and agreements linked to these two new concepts. Some forest stakeholders will lose several of their long-time privileges under the pressure of new actors involved in sustainable forest management. Forest managers will have to consider more social values in their planning than they used before. Sustainable forest management and forest certification thus have the potential to resolve, through public participation processes, old conflicts between stakeholders involved in forest management. However, these same processes could be the source of new conflicts. This article analyzes the ways in which relationships between forest stakeholders could be affected by new sustainable forest management rules. Key words: sustainable forest management, certification, forest stakeholder, public participation

 This article are intended to describe the thirteen principles of environment conservation law in sustainable forest management as an instrument of prevention of forest damage. In the realization, almost all of the principles are not applied or not be the basis of consideration, either by the Ministry of Forestry, relevant sector ministries, and local governments in establishing the concervation policies. This makes the implementation of policies to use, changes in the function, and use (permission to borrow to use) the forest resist of violations and irregularities. Therefore, it needs to be developed (ius constituendum perspective) the principle of environmental law as a general principles, which has the nature of force and lead to the development of leadership character of the decision makers.

Starting from the internationally adopted definition of sustainable forest management, this paper points to the demands of sustainable forest management that can be satisfied by meeting the definite assumptions. The first part presents the objectives of forest and woodland management planning and utilisation, hunting management, and protection of protected areas, as well as the all-inclusive compatible goals of forest policy in Serbia. The second part presents the analysis of the present state of forests in Serbia, in relation to the Pan-European criteria for the assessment of sustainability, and the potentials of our forests to meet all the demands.

The world's forests have all the characteristics of "wicked problems" that are complex, tricky and thorny. Decades of sweeping changes that have taken place worldwide at various levels have resulted in the emergence of "metaforestry" which transcends the field of conventional forestry in response to the need to deal with ulterior and more fundamental problems concerning the forest. Being an overarching objective of metaforestry, sustainable forest management calls for a new line of thinking to promote collaboration in international forums concerning global forest policy.

Crown Lands

Changes in human attitudes and societal values significantly influence forest management objectives and approaches. There are important signs indicating the emergence of a new social contract for forestry on Crown lands in Canada. From the perspective of forest companies, it is imperative to manage forests for multiple purposes under a tiered and nested relationship with various stakeholders. Resource professionals, including foresters, face several challenges in their effort to facilitate innovative institutional reforms and manage forests across scales.

Contemporary forest management design is generating innovative ideas as it evolves towards the management of forest landscapes. These ideas embody different management paradigms, modelling approaches and software engineering techniques. We explore these three in detail and suggest an ecological landscape management (ELM) paradigm coupled with meta-heuristics modelling and object-oriented software engineering techniques as a suitable framework for designing management for forest landscapes. We hope the paper provides insight and stimulates discussion about various forest landscape management design approaches. Key words: forest landscape management, forest modelling, software engineering
