PROGRAMME AREAS
A. Sustaining the multiple roles
and functions of all types of forests, forest lands and woodlands
Basis for action
11.1. There are major weaknesses in the policies,
methods and mechanisms adopted to support and develop the multiple ecological,
economic, social and cultural roles of trees, forests and forest lands. Many developed
countries are confronted with the effects of air pollution and fire damage on
their forests. More effective measures and approaches are often required at the
national level to improve and harmonize policy formulation, planning and
programming; legislative measures and instruments; development patterns;
participation of the general public, especially women and indigenous people; involvement
of youth; roles of the private sector, local organizations, non-governmental organizations
and cooperatives; development of technical and multidisciplinary skills and
quality of human resources; forestry extension and public education; research
capability and support; administrative structures and mechanisms, including
inter sectoral coordination, decentralization and responsibility and incentive
systems; and dissemination of information and public relations. This is especially
important to ensure a rational and holistic approach to the sustainable and
environmentally sound development of forests. The need for securing the
multiple roles of forests and forest lands through adequate and appropriate
institutional strengthening has been repeatedly emphasized in many of the
reports, decisions and recommendations of FAO, ITTO, UNEP, the World Bank, IUCN
and other organizations.
