  4. THE RICHNESS OF TROPICAL RAINFORESTS

  5. Forest-Based Eco-Tourism Non-Wood Resources Wood Forest-Based Recreation Activities Source for Food Coastal Protection and Rehabilitation. MULTIPLE VALUES OF FOREST Source for Water Flood Control Forest For Community Livelihood Source for Protection against Soil Erosion Source for Climate Change Mitigation Carbon Sequestration and Trade Source for Fuel Source for Forest Genetic Flora and Fauna Diversity

  6. ITTO’s definition of SFM (1992) “ the process of managing forests to achieve one or more clearly specified objectives of management with regard to the production of continuous flow of desired forest products and services, without undue reduction of its inherent values and future productivity and without undue desirable effects on physical and social environment ”.

  7. The 3 Main Pillars Of SFM Environmentally sound … this entails an ecosystem being able to support healthy organisms, whilst maintaining its productivity, adaptability and capability for renewal; it requires forest management respects and builds on, a natural process Economically viable … this requires that the benefits to the group in question exceed the costs incurred, and that some form of equivalent capital is handed down from one generation to the next Socially acceptable … this reflects the relationship between development and social norms, an activity is socially sustainable if it conforms with social norms, or does not stretch them beyond a community’s tolerance for change

  8. CRITICAL HUMAN FACTORS FOR EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT • Knowledgeable. • Highest Commitment . • Individual level. • Community level. • district (sub-national) level • National level. • regional level, and • international level.
