This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest management has evolved from a mercantilist view to a multi-functional one that integrates economic, social, and ecological aspects. However, the issue of sustainability is not yet resolved. Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management brings together global research in three areas of application: inventory of the forest variables that determine the main environmental indices, description and design of new environmental indices, and the application of sustainability indices for regional implementations. All these quantitative techniques create the basis for the development of scientific methodologies of participatory sustainable forest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participatory research has emerged as an approach to producing knowledge that is sufficiently grounded in local needs and realities to support community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), and it is often touted as crucial to the sustainable management of forests and other natural resources. This book analyses the current state of the art of participatory research in CBNRM. Its chapters and case studies examine recent experiences in collaborative forest management, harvesting impacts on forest shrubs, watershed restoration in Native American communities, civic environmentalism in an urban neighborhood and other topics. Although the main geographic focus of the book is the United States, the issues raised are synthesized and discussed in the context of recent critiques of participatory research and CBNRM worldwide. The book's purpose is to provide insights and lessons for academics and practitioners involved in CBNRM in many contexts. The issues it covers will be relevant to participatory research and CBNRM practitioners and students the world over.

Enamol Hassan and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community forestry, underpinned by decentralization policies, holds promise as a viable approach to forest conservation and community development. The rise of community forestry represents a means to address pressing environmental and economic issues such as deforestation, encroachment, and resource degradation. In theory, devolution or decentralization of rights, responsibilities, and authority from the state to forest communities should provide for increasing forest productivity, greater control over the resource, and more significant share of benefits. Subsequently, community forestry has become a popular concept in many countries of South Asia, Europe, and North America to ensure community sustainability in terms of environment, social, economic, and human capital aspects. Strategically, community forestry follows a robust participatory approach along with more integrated management processes. Consequently, community-based forest management (CBFM) strives to incorporate all stakeholders in participation and collaboration with a view to ensuring community existence and well-being of the local poorest people. Therefore, the general purpose of this research is to examin the integrating processes of stakeholders through participation and collaboration in communitybased forestry. In addition, I analyze issues of sustainability in communities and examine constraints that limit the processes of integration. I use a qualitative approach along with a case study as the strategy of inquiry in this research focusing on Comilla Sadar South Upazila (CSSU) located in Comilla district, Bangladesh. Data were collected through face to face interviews with semi-structured questionnaires and field notes following purposive sampling technique. The results of this study reveal that the main integration process in community forestry in CSSU are participation and collaboration. Hence, beneficiaries, Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD), and Union Parishad (UP) come together as leading actors through the participatory approach, but existing community forest management ignores the inclusion of NGOs and business entrepreneurs which are also main actors of this kind of integrated management process. However, BFD is working as the central administrative actor whereas beneficiaries work as a responsible actor to nurse and protect the forest resources. On the other hand, UP is pledged to provide various kinds of legal support in favor of community forestry. Furthermore, a significant number of respondents want to revive NGOs' involvement and to incorporate local business entrepreneurs in CBFM for logistic support. Stakeholders actively participate in CBFM in terms of sharing responsibilities like decision making, cost-sharing, motivation and coordination to make community forestry more efficacious. Furthermore, they collaborate with each other in maintaining communication, consensus building, and in learning processes that ensure accountability, equality, and efficiency. The practice of an integrated management approach contributes to community sustainability including environmental viability, stronger social networks, economic prosperity, and human capacity.While community forestry offers an alternative model of management, there are some crucial constraints that limit its success in Bangladesh, notably political influence, financial crisis, lack of professionalism, and syndicate culture. Nevertheless, the role of community forestry is praiseworthy in strengthening community sustainability.

Download or read book Community Forestry in the United States written by Mark Baker and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States, people are developing new relationships with the forest ecosystems on which they depend, with a common goal of improving the health of the land and the well-being of their communities. Practitioners and supporters of what has come to be called community forestry are challenging current approaches to forest management as they seek to end the historical disfranchisement of communities and workers from forest management and the all-too-pervasive trends of long-term disinvestment in ecosystems and human communities that have undermined the health of both. Community Forestry in the United States is an analytically rigorous and historically informed assessment of this new movement. It examines the current state of community forestry through a grounded assessment of where it stands now and where it might go in the future. The book not only clarifies the state of the movement, but also suggests a trajectory and process for its continued development.
