Alexandratos, Nikos (ed). World agriculture towards 2010 (twenty-ten) : an FAO study. Rome: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1995. 488 p.
Abstract: This publication details the latest forward assessment by the FAO of likely developments in world food and agriculture, including forestry and fisheries. The book focuses mainly, but not only, on developing countries, and examines two overlapping central themes: on one hand food security, and on the other natural resources, the environment and sustainability. Containing a detailed analysis and evaluation of the agricultural potential of land resources and their use in developing countries, the book discusses the prospects for putting agriculture on a sustainable path. This is assessed against a background of population growth with a prevalence of food insecurity and undernutrition, progressive reduction in world agricultural growth, the degradation of natural resources, and anticipated overall economic developments. The findings of this book are from FAO multidisciplinary analyses, providing a global picture of likely developments in world food and agriculture from detailed assessments by country, by product and by agroecological zone.
Alverson, William S., Walter Kuhlmann and Donald M. Waller. Wild forests : conservation biology and public policy. Washington, DC: Island Press, 1994. 300 p.
Abstract: This volume presents a review of the scientific and policy issues surrounding biological diversity in the context of contemporary public forest management. Drawing on experience in the field, in negotiations, and in court, the authors analyze the ways in which federal agencies are coping with the mandates of conservation biology and suggest reforms that could better address these important issues. Throughout, they argue that wild or unengineered conditions are those that are most likely to foster a return to the species richness that forests once had.

Andersen, Kirsten Ewers. "Institutional flaws of collective forest management." Ambio 24 (September 1995) : 349-353.
Abstract: This article examines the institutional development within the afforestation of village revenue lands in India as well as institutions set up for management of already existing forests. These institutions are termed "collective or joint forest-management committees" indicating a joint government-village arrangement for forest protection. However, it is often unclear or skewed who has which rights and to what. The present article argues for a careful analysis of the kinds of rights, of the categories of rightholders as well as of the bio-physical character of the resource itself. The degree of sociopolitical overlap between new induced institutions and the existing ones of local government such as the village panchayat is counterproductive. Another critical issue is the match between the institutional set-up and the biophysical characteristics of the resource itself. Both issues are examined in the article.

Abstract: This study aims to clarify relationships between the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service programs and the economies of affected small rural communities. The study addresses two main issues: dependence of sample communities on employment associated with Forest Service programs and the relationship between employment diversity and economic performance. A relatively strong case can be made that counties with high employment diversity are better able to cope with changing economic conditions than less diverse counties over time. Thus the effort to facilitate diversification of dependent communities appears to be an appropriate goal. However, short-term fluctuations that might be expected to change the diversity of an economy did not seem to have an effect.

Avery, Dennis T. Saving the planet with pesticides and plastic : the environmental triumph of high-yield farming. Indianapolis, IN: Hudson Institute, 1995. 432 p.
Abstract: This book discusses many contentious environmental issues related to agriculture and forestry. The author argues that the discussions of threats to our environment have been inadequate. Meeting the growing food requirements of people can be met using scientific and technological solutions that benefit the environment. Some of the main areas that receive discussion are the claims that high yield agriculture and pesticide use have a negative impact on the environment and are unsustainable. The author also discusses world population predictions, vegetarianism as a solution for increasing food production, water quality, and various other agricultural issues.

Abstract: This publication provides an analysis of the economic linkages between trade and forest degradation. Based on a report prepared for the International Tropical Timber Organization, it looks at current and future market conditions, and assesses the impacts on tropical forests of both the international timber trade and domestic demand. The authors examine the causes of deforestation, and compare the environmental impacts of the timber trade with other factors, such as the conversion of the forests to agriculture. The influence of the domestic market and trade interventions in both exporting and importing countries on timber trade are examined. Finally, they assess the national and international trade policy options, and discuss the potential role of interventions in the international timber trade in promoting efficient and sustainable use of forest resources.

Beckley, Thomas M. "Community stability and the relationship between economic and social well-being in forest-dependent communities." Society and Natural Resources 8 (1995): 261-266.
Abstract: A predominant assumption among many academics, policy makers and lay persons is that economic and social well-being are closely linked. As a result, policy efforts intended to improve social well-being are often directed toward economic variables. While many connections between social and economic well-being do exist, there are also aspects of social well-being that are only weakly or
indirectly connected to economic variables. At the nexus of economic and social well-being is the notion of community stability. This paper discusses ways to better assess the health, vitality and long-term sustainability of communities that depend largely on forests as an economic lifeline.

Bierregaard, Jr., Richard O., Angelo Augusto dos Santos and Roger Hutchings. Biological dynamics of forest fragments project. (s.l.): The authors, 1993. 30 p.
Notes: Unpublished manuscript. Includes references.
Abstract: The Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project is a long-term (currently in it 12th year) investigation of the physical and ecological changes that occur in a replicated series of 1-, 10-, and 100-ha forest reserves isolated by cattle ranchers clearing virgin Amazonian rainforest to create pasture. Analyses are based on pre-isolation data from the forest fragments and control studies in adjacent continuous forest. The paper concludes that forest fragments less than 100 ha are not effective at preserving the full complement of monkeys and understory birds that inhabit continuous forest in the region, but a landscape mosaic with 100 ha fragments would be preferable to vast expanses of deforested land, particularly if forest corridors and larger reserves ( 1000 ha) were present.

Bradley, P.N. and K. McNamara (eds). Living with trees : policies for forestry management in Zimbabwe. World Bank technical paper no.210. Washington, D.C.: World Bank, 1993. 347 p.
Abstract: This book is an account of the results of a joint World Bank and Zimbabwe Forestry Commission study, in which the status, use and future of Zimbabwe's forest, woodland and tree resources are reviewed. A national overview is provided that deals with land, agriculture and economic structural adjustments, which are key policy concerns in Zimbabwe. The authors reflect on the form and role of the Forestry Commission. This provides a macroeconomic setting for the subsequent chapters which detail social and industrial forestry issues: local technical practices for the management of woodland and trees; the status and economic significance of these resources and their importance to food security and the functioning of small-scale agricultural production systems; tenure and gender issues; the institutional and legal forces which surround these themes; a future role for forestry extension; and problems of woodland resource valuation. The book ends by focusing on industrial forestry and forestry research. The major concern for industrial foresters is the dual role played by the Forestry Commission, as producer and processor of timber, and the market implications of this integration. A full review of all forestry-related research in Zimbabwe is presented, with suggestions for the future. A map of Zimbabwe's woody cover is included which is based on interpreted satellite imagery from the mid-1980s combined with local sources.

Abstract: This database is structured to permit a description of the level of activity in any period, and to mark change in activity and in the resource itself. Activity data are provided to the database managers each year by the provincial and territorial forestry agencies. Data for federal forest lands are collected by the Canadian Forestry Service from the various federal agencies responsible for their management. Forest inventory data are compiled every five years. This compendium of statistics from the database is the fourth of a series published annually. Data are presented in tabular and graphic form. This year the publication presents 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 data compiled by the National Forestry Database as well as key historical information gathered by earlier surveys.
Canadian Council of Forest Ministers. Criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management in Canada : technical report 1997. Ottawa, ON: CCFM, 1997. 137 p.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. IC has 2 copies.
Abstract: The C&I are intended to provide a common understanding and scientific definition of sustainable forest management in Canada. Together they serve as a framework for describing and measuring the state of our forests, forest management practices, values and progress toward sustainability. This information and data are needed to shape forest management policies and to focus research on areas where we need to improve our technology and knowledge. The C&I framework reflects an approach to forest management which is based on the recognition that forests are ecosystems that provide a wide range of environmental, economic and social benefits to Canadians and that sustainable forest management demands an informed and participatory public, as well as the best available information and knowledge.

Capistrano, Ana Doris and Clyde F. Kiker. "Macro-scale economic influences on tropical forest depletion." Ecological Economics 14 (1995):21-29.
Abstract: The paper examines the influence of global and domestic factors on forest depletion in 45 tropical developing countries from 1967 to 1985. It links forest depletion with conditions in the international markets and with domestic macroeconomic and demographic factors. Calculated elasticities suggest that real exchange rate devaluation, debt service, food self-sufficiency, income and export prices of forestry and agricultural output had significant influence on the depletion of tropical forests during the study period.
Carrere, Ricardo and Larry Lohmann. Pulping the South : industrial tree plantations in the world paper economy. London, UK: Zed Books, 1996. 280 p.
Abstract: This book examines the practice of using tree plantations to provide the pulp for the production of paper. These pulpwood plantations have spread throughout land in the South. Contesting the industry-propagated notion that all tree-planting must be benign, this book shows how the new plantations are contributing to impoverishment of people; degradation of soil, water and biodiversity; and rural strife in countries as diverse as Chile, South Africa and Indonesia. It analyses the forces behind the plantation boom, explaining how industry associations, forestry consultants, aid agencies, suppliers of heavy machinery, banks and research institutes, subsidies captured, risks thrown on local people and their resistance contained.

Contents: Poverty and priorities; The poor and the potentials; Who gains and who loses?; Access to water through groups; Access to water through markets; Practical policy; Forestry for livelihoods; Why small farmers don't plant trees; A new charter for the poor; Analysis and action.
Abstract: This book explores how poor people can gain more from rural India's vast and often underestimated potential from groundwater and from growing trees. Starting with the livelihoods and priorities of the poor themselves, the authors use empirical evidence and practical political economy to identify new and implementable policies. The authors stress secure rights and access, and control, management and use of resources by poor households, and by their groups and communities. They argue that rights, and creating competitive markets, can be used to free the poor from hassle and exploitation, enabling them to claim, own and gain more from lift irrigation and from trees.

Contents: Executive summary; Introduction; The allowable annual cut : a brief guide; Timber-supply overview : apples and oranges; How does the need for timber affect the achievement of the Endangered Spaces goal; Case study 1 - British Columbia : timber supply and Endangered spaces (Parfitt); Case study 2 - New Brunswick : protected areas and the AAC (Jamnick); Case study 3 - Ontario : forest management decision points (Clark); Appendix 1 - national survey questions.
Abstract: This publication examines how societies need for timber will affect the achievement of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) Endangered Spaces campaign goal. An introduction to the allowable annual cut (AAC) decision making process includes discussion of the assumptions and calculations about the land area on which forest management can be practiced, the management guidelines that are in place to protect or sustain non-timber values within the management area, and the vision of the future forest. The results of a WWF national survey of provincial trends in the AAC, and actual AAC and harvest data from a conference organized by Natural Resources Canada in 1994 are presented. The author identifies four main problems with the AAC that prevent the achievement of the Endangered Spaces goal, these include: a blurred land-use and resource management decision-making process, a lack of political will to create land-use plans that would reduce the timber harvest, the presence of strong social and economic pressure to maintain AAC's at current high levels, and limited forester and wood worker exposure to concepts of conservation biology. The author concludes by presenting three strategic directions to follow if the Endangered spaces goal is to be achieved.

Clement, Francois and Deo Gratias Kabamdana. Briefing note for National Forestry Action Programmes : decentralized and participatory planning. Rome: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1995. 68 p.
Abstract: Decentralized and participatory planning (DPP) is an approach for local development. It is used to elaborate and implement development strategies for small areas. It has been used by communities on projects in both France and Rwanda for a number of years, while various elements have been applied to a number of projects in several Latin American and West African countries. DPP is different from other approaches used for cooperation projects, mainly because it takes into account the territorial realities by rendering local government authorities responsible for the project, and by the implementation of continuous planning using both the top-down and down-up principles. DPP is proposed as a tool for the implementation of National Forestry Programmes and action plans that enables a logical setting out of a national strategic axis of local initiatives and needs for development. DPP is both a fully decentralized approach with democratic representation and participation. This document is a DPP manual for local actors. It is divided into four parts: a presentation of the principles and the basis that characterize DPP; a description of a characteristic process, each stage accompanied by the operations to be carried out and the tools for use; a list of practical advice for the implementation; a vocabulary of key words. This is a companion document to the FAO publication Formulation, Execution and Revision of National Forestry Programmes : Basic principles and operational guidelines.

Commandeur, P.R. and M. E. Walmsley. Impacts of biomass harvesting on soil disturbance and surface soil erosion at Seller Creek in interior British Columbia. Ottawa: Supply & Services, 1993. 16 p.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to document the impact of biomass harvesting by rubber-tired skidders on soils, namely soil disturbance and surface soil erosion. An increase in soil disturbance in the form of skid trails, skidroads, and deep and very deep gouges was observed on the biomass harvested plots compared to the conventionally harvested plots. Erosion bridges indicated more soil movement on the biomass than the conventionally harvested plots as well. Recommendations are given regarding the measurement techniques used in this study.

Current, Dean, Ernst Lutz and Sara J. Scherr. "The costs and benefits of agroforestry to farmers." The World Bank Observer 10, no.2 (Aug 1995): p. 151-180.
Abstract: Deforestation, growing scarcity of tree products, and environmental degradation have created serious problems for rural land use in many developing countries. Agroforestry, a system in which woody perennials are grown on the same land as agricultural crops or livestock, has been increasingly enlisted in the campaign to meet these threats to the rural economy.
Current, Dean. Forestry for sustainable development : policy lessons from Central America and Panama. EPAT/MUCIA working paper no.18. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin-Madison Environmental and Natural Resources Policy and Training Project, 1994. 26 p.
Abstract: Summarizes results of the evaluation of 11 forestry activities in Central America using a framework of factors related to long-term sustainability of the benefits flowing from forestry development activities. Identified problems included: the lack of continuity of support to project-sponsored activities once formal projects end, the short-term focus of many projects, the lack of interest or capacity of host governments and institutions to provide continued support to these activities, and restrictive permit procedures and legislation that discourage tree management. Factors that contribute to sustainability include the participation and training of local farmers as promoters, trainers, and employees of projects. Another factor is farmer participation in demonstration plots using technologies that provide obvious short-term benefits. Also important is flexibility and agility in the management of projects. This allows inputs to arrive efficiently and permits changes in project design as problems occur. As a result of this review of forestry activities, we present lessons for future project development and policy formulation and reform

Abstract: Tracing the history of conservation and federal land management in America from the nineteenth century to the present, including portraits of such conservationist-heroes as John Muir, Aldo Leopold, and others, the author highlights the fundamental misconceptions, tactical errors, and fatal compromises that were made along the way. The author tries to offer answers to questions such as "where did we go wrong, and how must we reorient ourselves politically, scientifically and ethically if we are to salvage what is left of our wild places?" As a remedy, the author proposes an "applied biodiversity" approach which would concentrate efforts on protecting ecosystems rather than individual species or unique geological features. This approach would entail the use of various new techniques outlined in the book such as gap analysis, as well as the construction of wilderness corridors that would allow animals safe passage from one wilderness area to another. At the same time, strict legislative reforms are needed to reverse more than a century of mismanagement.
Doern, G. Bruce. " Sectoral green politics : environmental regulation and the Canadian pulp and paper industry." Environmental Politics 4, no.2 (Summer 1995):219-243.
Abstract: Through a case study of the regulation of the Canadian pulp and paper industry over a 20 year period, the article examines the political-institutional variables that help explain the policy and
regulatory outcomes that occur in an industrial sector. It examines six variables: the industrial structure of the sector and its particular interactions with environmental elements; changing configurations of interest group politics; specific features of how environment departments are organized and how they approach regulatory versus resource management task; scientific controversies and how they affect political and negotiating stances; problems of precise statutory capacity, especially in federal political systems; and, political-managerial leadership of the lack of it within the sector.

Egan, A.F., et al. "The value of using multiple methods : an illustration using survey, focus group, and delphi techniques." Society and Natural Resources 8 (1995) : 457-465.
Abstract: Following the lead of Denzin (1970), the authors used a triangulation strategy to develop a framework for assessing the condition of harvested nonindustrial private forests (NIPFs) and information on owners' forest management knowledge, intentions, and objectives. The purpose of this procedure was the development of protocol to guide field investigators in their conduct of NIPF owner interviews and site evaluations. Two of the three methods, mail surveys and focus groups, provided initial insights into the
forest stewardship statements of NIPF owners. Using data drawn from these procedures, the authors used a delphi process to develop specific criteria and standards for use in field application. The development and application of the resulting forest stewardship metric provide important insights into understudied areas of forestland ownership.

Abstract: The Paper Task Force was specifically designed as a voluntary, private-sector initiative. The aim of the task force was to develop a body of information and a model that organizations that buy and use paper could employ to identify opportunities for environmental improvement. The task force considered the complete life-cycle of paper and focused on three major categories of paper products: printing and writing papers, including those used in publications; corrugated shipping containers; folding cartons used to package consumer goods for retail sale. The task force produced a variety of tools for organizations that use paper. The first tool is a set of actionable recommendations (with implementation options) with which paper purchasers and users can systematically integrate environmental considerations into their operating procedures and purchasing decisions alongside cost, performance, and other criteria. Second, the task force provides environmental, economic and product performance rationale for the recommendations. Third, a decision framework is provided with specific action steps that organizations that purchase and use paper can employ in examining their overall paper use. In addition, a fully documented set of white papers provide all of the task force's technical research.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Formulation, execution and revision of National Forestry Programmes : Basic principles and operational guidelines. Rome: FAO, 1996. 61 p.
Abstract: This document attempts to outline a design for sustainable development of all kinds of forest environments and activities. It encompasses all types of forest and can be used by all countries. This planning approach encourages intersectoral planning. The first part of the document outlines the basic principles upon which the National Forestry Programmes rely upon, these include sustainability of forest development, national sovereignty and country leadership, partnership, participation, holistic and inter-sectoral approach, a long-term iterative process, capacity building, policy and institutional reforms, consistency with the national policy framework and global initiatives, raising awareness, national policy commitment, and international commitment. The second part relates to the main phases recommended for the implementation of preparatory, executing, and updating processes of the National Forestry Programmes. These basic principles and operational guidelines have been prepared: to assist in the formulation of sector strategies for sustainable forestry use and conservation; to guide foresters and forestry planners in the strategy harmonization of the forestry sector with other sectors; to integrate forestry sector programmes within the broader context of sustainable development strategies; to help all stakeholders to play a more effective and efficient role in planning and implementing activities for sustainable forest development.

Abstract: This report describes two paths to the solution of global environmental problems that must be taken in parallel. The first involves changing societal conditions. These conditions include strengthening environmental awareness and education, reinforcing the technology transfer from industrial to developing countries, further development and modification of institutions and organizations, and the long-term stabilization of world population. The present conditions and previous actions taken to alter these conditions are discussed for each of these societal conditions. Recommendations are provided for addressing each of these conditions. Secondly, international agreements relating to various global environmental problems have to be adopted and/or strengthened by democratic process and implemented with appropriate measures. These agreements include The Framework Convention on Climate Change (Berlin), The Montreal Protocol, The Convention on the Law of the Sea, The Desertification Convention, The Biodiversity Convention, Development of a Forest Convention, and the Gatt/WTO - regime. The report provides a discussion of the history and current status of the problems that are the focus of each of these agreements. Agreement implementation is assessed and the potential influences on the environment are discussed. Recommendations for implementing, modifying, and/or creating new environmental agreements are provided.

Gunderson, Lance H., C. S. Holling and Stephen S. Light (eds). Barriers and bridges to the renewal of ecosystems and institutions. New York: Columbia University Press, 1995. 593 p.
Abstract: This book explores ways for active adaptation and learning in dealing with uncertainty in the management of complex regional ecosystems. The book deals equally with the way ecosystems are structured and behave and how institutions and the people associated with them are organized and behave. One of the surprises of this analysis is that both ecological and social systems are inherently more dynamic and unpredictable than was first imagined. All the case studies exposed a profound but potentially transient pathology of resource development. This pathology generally results in a crisis, when the existing policies are recognized clearly as no longer being adequate, followed by a reformation and adoption of new policies.

Abstract: This publication contains a collection of case studies and design applications from around the world that focus on the institutional dimensions of environmental sustainability. The knowledge of how property rights regimes, as particularly important types of institutions, function in relation to humans and their use of the environment is critical to the design and implementation of effective environmental protection. These studies address questions of the design of governance systems for sustainability; the relationships among equity, stewardship, and environmental resilience; the use of traditional knowledge in resource management; the mechanisms that link humans to their environments; and the role played by poverty and population.
Hansen, Karl. Socio-economic issues in the international forest policy dialogue : working paper. Winnipeg, Manitoba: International Institute for Sustainable Development IISD, 1995. 11 p.
Abstract: This paper discusses the socio-economic context of the international forest policy dialogue. The international dialogue on forests since the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 is also discussed. A preliminary framework for systematically addressing socio-economic problems in forest-related policy is presented. Six primary steps are suggested to successfully negotiate equitable solutions to forest problems: 1 - Recognize the need to address socio-economic problems in forests, 2 - Identify socio-economic problems in forests, 3 - Identify policy options for solving socio-economic problems in forests, 4 - Negotiate forest policy, 5 - Implement forest policy, 6 - Monitor, evaluate and modify existing forest policy.

Lewis, David K., David P. Turner and Jack K. Winjum. " An inventory-based procedure to estimate economic costs of forest management on a regional scale to conserve and sequester atmospheric carbon." Ecological Economics 16 (1996) : 35-49.
Abstract: Estimation of the costs of managing forests to conserve and sequester atmospheric carbon is necessary to define the role of forests to mitigate the onset of projected global climate change. The role of forests as both carbon pools and an element in the flux of atmospheric carbon dictate new requirements in estimating the costs of forest management to mitigate climate change. These requirements include recognition of the inventory as a capital stock in the estimation of the costs; the need to allow the integration of biological, social and economic considerations across nations and regions; and the need to facilitate consideration of the distributional aspects of forest policy alternatives. An inventory-based procedure is presented to estimate forest management costs based on recognition of the opportunity costs of holding forest inventories.
Ling, Katy. Air pollution and forest decline in Europe. WWF research report. Gland, Switzerland: World Wildlife Fund International, 1995.
Contents: Executive summary; 1 - Introduction; 2 - Forest decline in Europe; 3 - Possible causes of forest decline; 4 - Air pollution climate in Europe; 5 - The sensitivity of European tree species to air pollutant; 6 - Conclusions and recommendations
Abstract: This study reviews the scientific evidence which links forest decline in Europe with air pollution. The main goal is to determine whether damage of the type seen in the field can be linked to the effects of specific pollutants, with or without the addition of other stresses. The role of Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides is the primary focus of the report.
Little, Charles E. The dying of the trees: the pandemic in America's forests. New York: Viking, 1995. 275 p.
Contents: In this sign; Vigil at Camel's Hump; On top of Mount Mitchell; The California X-disease; The fire next time; Path of the gypsy rover; A history only of departed things; Lucy's woods; Pandemic; The treesavers; On crossing the threshold.
Abstract: This book describes the decline of tree health in the United States. The author recounts various examples of tree death, these include: the potential extinction of the Eastern dogwood in its native range; the impact of acid rain on the high elevation forests of the Appalachians; the impact of the "X-disease" on the Ponderosa pine; the impact of logging and fire suppression practices on the forest composition of the Rocky and intermountain west; the impact of forest practices on the Gypsy moth in northern Michigan; the influence of microclimate changes on the mortality of old growth timber in Oregon and Washington; and the decline of forests in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. The author argues that the widespread death of trees must be taken as an ecological indicator of global rather than local ecological imbalances, ones that may have catastrophic consequences for life on the planet.
