Beschreibung
This book discusses the reality of implementing sustainable forest management measures. Rather than simply offering theoretical descriptions, the book comprehensively details how sustainably managed forests can only be achieved through the cooperation and support of foresters, politicians, business leaders, local communities, consumers of forest-based goods and services, and the general public. The book also aims to raise public awareness of the factors involved in attaining the true sustainability of forest management, and the consequences of failing to do so, as well as the current issues facing sustainable forest management such as land ownership and land-use rights, political corruption, environmental stressors, and economic pressure. In 17 chapters, the book will appeal to academics and teachers in forestry and related areas, government practitioners, development agencies, and NGOs.

Countries should have a unified agency responsible for forestry that includes overseeing the forest industry and trade in forest products. It is essential to eliminate illegal logging, which means balancing demand and the sustainable supply for forest products and services. Certification and Voluntary Partnership Agreements should be based on the sustainability of forest management in a whole country not just FMUs to avoid leakage.
