Transcript of Tree diversityday2012 guariguata.pptx
“Forest resources and forest lands should be sustainably managed to meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future genera8ons. These needs are for forest products and services, such as wood and wood products, water, food, fodder, medicine, fuel, shelter, employment, recrea8on, habitats for wildlife, landscape diversity, carbon sinks and reservoirs, and for other forest products.”
20 years ago in Rio…
• Food supplies will expand 70 % by 2050 and demand for wood and fiber will concurrently increase
• How can we sustain enough produc8ve forest and land available for agriculture to meet current demands without further forest conversion?
• Keeping space for produc8ve forests will require innova8on in forestry prac8ces while mee8ng ever-‐growing societal needs
Strict protection (IUCN I-IV)
Multiple use (IUCN V-VI)
Indigenous territories
Nelson and Chomitz (2011)
How are forests being used?
How do deforestation and degradation fit in the current scenario?
• In La8n America and Asia, strict forest protec8on substan8ally reduced fire incidence but mul8-‐use areas were even more effec8ve
• Across the tropics, deforesta8on rates in
protected areas were significantly larger than in mul8-‐use protected areas
Nelson and Chomitz 2011; Porter-‐Bolland et al. 2012
• Technical and managerial capaci8es differ for different forest products and market opportuni8es
• Local communi8es and small-‐scale operators struggle to adjust their prac8ces to meet official regula8ons—which in turn show li]le harmoniza8on for mul8ple objec8ves
• Spa8al planning for long term produc8on is usually disregarded—par8cularly for mul8ple uses and mul8ple views
• Ossified tropical forestry curricula
Multi-use: challenges
In Guatemala, ten years a`er the implementa8on of community forest concessions, those with the highest degree of product diversifica8on and social organiza8on are be]er able to buffer economic uncertainty Radachowsky et al. 2012
Aichi Target 5: Rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved …and degrada8on and fragmenta8on is significantly reduced
Aichi Target 11: Terrestrial areas are conserved…and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes
• Management tradeoffs are complex and acute in mul8ple use systems
• Social learning and mul8-‐stakeholder dialogue is essen8al
• Spa8al approaches for planning
