Targeted Approach

The objective of the study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable forest management in southern Africa. The study employed a targeted approach, also referred to as purposive sampling, to select respondents from the various sectors. The results show that COVID-19 had an 80% impact on forest management operations. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant effect on the conversion of land from forest to other land uses. However, there was severe illegal logging and moderate to severe fires. The COVID-19 pandemic also had a severe impact on the agriculture, environment and ecotourism sectors, with nature reserves completely closed. From the forest production perspective, the impact of COVID-19 on production, supply, demand and the price of timber was generally low due to the commercial nature of the forestry sector in South Africa; the largest economy in SADC being classified as an essential sector.

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

Negative Influence

Anthropogenic impacts, such as deforestation, soil erosion, and carbon dioxide emissions, have a negative influence over global warming due to the increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. The sustainable forest management is a way to mitigate climate change owing to the carbon storage capacity of forests. This study highlights the priority of forest management according to the integrated assessment of carbon storage under anthropogenic impacts in the administrative units of Ecuador. In the obtained map, the provinces Guayas, Esmeraldas, and Manabí showed the highest values of 25, 22.85 and 19.9, respectively, followed by two Amazon provinces, Morona Santiago and Sucumbíos. Therefore, we concluded that deforestation, soil erosion, and carbon dioxide emissions were more pronounced on the coast mainly due to agriculture and livestock activities and the forests in these provinces must have priority management. This analysis is useful for planning environmental practices in order to increase carbon storage as a strategy of mitigation for global warming.

Kerinci is one of regency with the large forest, but sub sector of forestry contributes only 0,04% of GDPKerinci Regency. It’s may possibly by the weakness of forest management and policy of Kerinci RegencyGovernment. Forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerinci establishment is one of govermentefforts to achieve sustainable forest management. Therefore, we need research with purpose: (1) to analyzethe role of forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerinci in the regional development ofKerinci Regency; (2) to analyze the institutional of forest production management unit (KPHP) ModelKerinci; (3) to analyze region’s readiness forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerincidevelopment. The study was conducted in Kerinci Regency. Data were analyzed by total economic value(TEV), institutional analysis, and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the totaleconomic value of natural resources of KPHP Model Kerinci is Rp. 337.839.832.400 in a year, it’s meanthat sub sector of forestry potentially to contribute about 8,38% of GDP Kerinci Regency. To realize thetotal economic values of natural resources of KPHP Model Kerinci, it needs strong institutions. KerinciRegency is ready for KPHP Model Kerinci development, because it’s has the support from stakeholders.
