Making Forestry Sustainable A lot of people are surprised that a food and agriculture organization is involved in forestry. But forests are big gardens teeming with life. By carefully tending these http://www.fao.org/kids/en/forestry.html
Extractions: But forests are big gardens teeming with life. By carefully tending these magnificent gardens, we can do a lot to make sure we have food for all and food forever. Many people recognize that deforestation is a major environmental problem. The loss of forest cover is considered to be a major factor in causing the Earth’s climate to change.
Extractions: Sustainable Forestry Working Definition Sustainable Forestry describes forest policies, practices, and market mechanisms designed to enhance ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Sustainable Forestry flows from the goal of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Sustainable Forestry Partnership's mission is to document and promote innovation in sustainable forestry and help others integrate this innovation broadly into both policy and practice. Sustainable Forestry Partnership vision The Sustainable Forestry Partnership began at Oregon State University in 1995 and has grown to include faculty from partner institutions and organizations The Partnership engages an expanding network of partners including university faculty, industry experts, nongovernment organization representatives, government agencies, and landowners. Together they: Identify key sustainable forestry issues and trends

Assistant Director- and head of the FAO Forestry Department The keynote opening speech at the first technical session of the Eleventh World Forestry Congress, 14 October 1997, Antalya, Turkey. It is my privilege to open the technical portion of this Eleventh World Forestry Congress. In so doing, let me express my appreciation for the excellent arrangements made by the Turkish Government and particularly the Ministry of Forestry. Our hosts have worked extremely hard to prepare the ground for us. In addition, many others have contributed to the voluminous documentation of the Congress. Our task is to take these ideas and discuss. debate and develop them over the next eight days, using the best knowledge from around the globe to arrive at a declaration and set of ideas that will carry world forestry into the twenty-first century, stronger, more secure and more able to meet the challenges before it. The theme of this Congress is "Forestry for sustainable development: towards the twenty-first century". Thus, this Congress is about the role of forests and trees in contributing to overall sustainable development. It is about trees in forests, but also about the multitude of other plants and animals that inhabit forests, and about the soil, water and air. This Congress is also about trees

Sustainable forest management uses very broad social, economic and environmental goals. A range of forestry institutions now practice various forms of sustainable forest management and a broad range of methods and tools are available that have been tested over time. The " Forest Principles " adopted at The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 captured the general international understanding of sustainable forest management at that time. A number of sets of criteria and indicators have since been developed to evaluate the achievement of SFM at both the country and management unit level. These were all attempts to codify and provide for independent assessment of the degree to which the broader objectives of sustainable forest management are being achieved in practice. In 2007, the
Farmers Journal: Continuous Cover Forestry - Sustainable Silviculture Or Fantasy Eight years ago a group of foresters, woodland owners and likeminded people formed Pro Silva Ireland to promote an alternative forest management system known as continuous cover http://www.farmersjournal.ie/2008/0329/farmmanagement/forestry/index.shtml
Extractions: Farm Management News Feature Husbandry By Donal Magner Eight years ago a group of foresters, woodland owners and like-minded people formed Pro Silva Ireland to promote an alternative forest management system known as continuous cover forestry (CCF), also referred to as close to nature forestry. Alternative, that is for Ireland, because CCF has been an accepted silvicultural practice in many European countries for generations. CCF maintains continuous woodland conditions as opposed to the practice of clearcutting at maturity followed by reforestation. There are a number of variations of continuous cover including shelterwood systems, low impact silvicultural systems, and dauerwald the German term for continuous forestry (see panel). Ireland practices a silvicultural system which is based on clear-cutting and reforestation whereby plantations are thinned, usually at three to five year intervals, from the age of production until the crop is clearfelled and the forest cycle begins again. The clear-cut system provides no income for the first 15-25 years (depending on yield and species) while a forest managed, according to CCF, provides continuous income once converted to continuous cover.

Extractions: As Benqué writes: There are thus "singing flowers," "modified agrobacteria" that ingeniously take "sugars and nutrients from the host plant to encourage the growth of parasitic galls and fill them with gas to produce sound," and "string-nut bugs" that have been "engineered to chew in rhythm" inside hollow gourds.
