Download or read book Forest Plans of North America written by Jacek P. Siry and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-03-13 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest Plans of North America presents case studies of contemporary forest management plans developed for forests owned by federal, state, county, and municipal governments, communities, families, individuals, industry, investment organizations, conservation organizations, and others in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The book provides excellent real-life examples of contemporary forest planning processes, the various methods used, and the diversity of objectives and constraints faced by forest owners. Chapters are written by those who have developed the plans, with each contribution following a unified format and allowing a common, clear presentation of the material, along with consistent treatment of various aspects of the plans. This work complements other books published by members of the same editorial team (Forest Management and Planning, Introduction to Forestry and Natural Resource Management), which describe the planning process and the various methods one might use to develop a plan, but in general do not, as this work does, illustrate what has specifically been developed by landowners and land managers. This is an in-depth compilation of case studies on the development of forest management plans by the different landowner groups in North America. The book offers students, practitioners, policy makers, and the general public an opportunity to greatly improve their appreciation of forest management and, more importantly, foster an understanding of why our forests today are what they are and what forces and tools may shape their tomorrow. Forest Plans of North America provides a solid supplement to those texts that are used as learning tools for forest management courses. In addition, the work functions as a reference for the types of processes used and issues addressed in the early 21st century for managing land resources. Presents 40-50 case studies of forest plans developed for a wide variety of organizations, groups, and landowners in North America Illustrates plans that have specifically been developed by landowners and land managers Features engaging, clearly written content that is accessible rather than highly technical, while demonstrating the issues and methods involved in the development of the plans Each chapter contains color photographs, maps, and figures

Download or read book Adaptive Forest Management in Ontario written by G. Blake MacDonald and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 1997 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive management is a formal process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from their outcomes. The objective of this paper is to outline the basic concepts of adaptive management, provide examples of successful adaptive management initiatives, and evaluate the potential of adaptive management for improving forest policies and practices in Ontario. Information for the paper was collected from on-line literature searches, literature reviews, and interviews with experts. Case studies from the literature are presented from the perspective of broad program issues and address common North American forest sector issues. They illustrate public, industrial, and hybrid approaches to adaptive management that provide relevant experience and success factors that will be instructive for implementing similar programs in Ontario.
Download or read book Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape written by Ajith H. Perera and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach to forest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional, stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patterns and processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region in Ontario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecological knowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directions from several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions and processes, natural disturbances, and ecological responses to disturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecological knowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularly with respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forest sustainability. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the first book to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forested landscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors and students in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology, and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in North America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyses the development of certification programmes in three countries (Indonesia, Canada and Sweden) using the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) as a theoretical reference point. The ACF is an actor-based framework for analysing policy processes and has not previously been applied in a developing country. Actors in the three countries took different approaches to certification. In Canada, in a programme development process supported by the forest products industry, a management systems approach was taken. In Sweden, performance standards were developed in a process initially driven by NGOs. In Indonesia, certification was led by an NGO within a framework established by government, and a performance standards approach was used. The paper concludes that forest certification can be best understood as a policy instrument that promotes and facilitates policy-orientated learning among actors, and provides indirect incentives for improved forest management. Learning occurs both as the standards to be used for certification are developed, and as they are implemented. The benefits of learning and consensus building among actors (such as NGOs, forest companies, private forest owners, indigenous peoples, governments, etc.) who have traditionally been in conflict with each other can be significant. On the other hand, where fundamental changes in forest policy (such as tenure and forest revenue reform) are needed, certification should not be seen as a substitute for these A further conclusion is that, while public policies change over periods of decades, the private policies of retailers and forest product companies can adapt more rapidly to changing circumstances. The concept of a ‘fast track’ of private policy change, compared to the slower track of governmental policy change, is therefore proposed and described. A number of interesting theoretical and empirical avenues for further research on certification are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forestry crisis that crippled the forest industry in northern Ontario in the new millennium led to a province wide forest tenure reform that created new forest governance institutions and a resurgence of a long-standing interest by communities in community forestry. Although research on this alternative approach to forest management from the conventional command-and-control paradigm has accompanied the global policy trend, this research has been minimal in northern Ontario. The tenure reform process driven strongly by renewed community advocacy for community forests presented an opportunity for this research. This dissertation has four distinct but interrelated components that explore the evolution of community forestry practice and advocacy in northern Ontario using critical qualitative inquiry: 1) Community forestry theory is used to assess the perspectives of northern Ontario communities regarding their visions for the management of their local forests in response to the forestry crisis and forest tenure reform; 2) A complexity lens and theories of community forestry and democratic decentralization are used to evaluate Ontario's forest system from its inception to the present in terms of how, as a social-ecological system that moves through an adaptive cycle, it has embraced community forestry; 3) transformative community organizing theory is used to evaluate the emergence of a community organization that advocates for community forestry in northern Ontario; and 4) an access approach and complexity theory are used in an in-depth exploration of a developing forest governance model proposed as a community forest for implementation under Ontario's new forest tenure policy framework. The research has determined that the new forest tenure system remains deficient in both enabling democratic local forest authorities and in supporting a broader range of forest values than timber alone. Despite the persistent limitations of the forest tenure system, community forestry in the area of forest development in northern Ontario has progressed from a single case in the early phase of the forest system's adaptive cycle to the emergence of multiple regional initiatives in the current reorganization phase that has followed the system's collapse and subsequent reform. A number of community forestry initiatives have been proposed as collaborative models between municipalities and First Nations to foster regional diversification in the forest-based political economy. Community advocacy for community forestry has similarly increased from an early idea to an active movement that includes the emergence of a community organization and social change movement that challenges the assumptions of the dominant forestry system and advocates for community forestry. Access theory has identified tangible economic, social, environmental and cultural benefits that are being obtained by a group of First Nations in the Northeast Superior region of Ontario through the development of a new forest governance model. The main mechanism they have used to achieve these benefits is investment in social relations. Additional mechanisms used are access to capital, labour and knowledge to build capacity and resources to help position the First Nations to assume full responsibility for forest management in the region. A power shift is evident in the region's forest-based political economy that has recognized the First Nations as equals in forest management decision-making. The development of the forest tenure initiative has also resulted in the building of adaptive capacity that has seen transformative and social learning by the other actors.

Download or read book Community Based Forest Management CBFM in Bangladesh written by Tapan Kumar Nath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is immensely beneficial to the readers to have a clear understanding of various CBFM practices prevailing in Bangladesh.Providing a comprehensive and critical analysis of success stories concerning several CBFM practices in different forest areas of Bangladesh, together with their respective strengths and weaknesses, it identifies sharing authority to take decision by the community as one of the main weaknesses. The other main weakness is the lack of beat level authority to coordinate with community for making the process vibrant. The book determines that it is the community patrol group which is most effective under the co-management system, yet the general body and executive committee of the co-management system are composed of different stakeholders, each of which is subject to their own work pressures, and are not as effective as claimed. There is a need to empower communities living in and around forests, and to create ownership of the forests so that they can feel that the forests around them are by the community and for the community.
