Specific Reports Table 1- Extent of Forest and OWL (State and Change): Table 1- Extent of Forest and OWL (State and Change) State of Forests in FRA 2000Table 1- Extent of Forest and OWL (State and Change): Table 1- Extent of Forest and OWL (State and Change) Change in Forests – FRA 2000Slide11: Why is it needed? State forest national, field based inventories in developing countries 2. Support to National Forest AssessmentWhy is it needed? (cont): To support policy and decision making processes To support sustainable development programmes To improve the productive, protective, environmental and social functions of forests and trees outside forests. To protect forests from degradation and deforestation. To integrate forest resources in land use planning and management. Why is it needed? (cont)Slide13: Capacity building: Develop/strengthen national capacity in assessment of forest and TOF resources, information management and long term monitoring Assessment: Assess forest and TOF resources for NATIONAL level decision making: State of resources (areas distribution, volume, biomass, biodiversity, etc); Non wood forest products and services; Management, use and users of resources; Role of forests and trees in food security Monitoring: Set up a long term monitoring system of resources . Experience sharing: With FAO coordination/leadership countries benefit from each other experiences. How is it done? Objectives Method: Method Low intensity field sampling (100 - 1000 sample sites/country) Permanent plots for long term monitoring Data collection through field measurements and interviews Variables covering large range of forest and TOF characteristics (volume, management, benefits...) NFA approach adjusted to national context through participatory process. Classification system defined according to each country’s specific needs and harmonized with international reporting systems Possible integration of other land use resources (agriculture, livestock, mining, fishery...) . Slide15: Sampling design Systematic lay out of sample (clusters/plots) Slide16: DB Structure and Data ProcessingSlide17: Knowledge reference for NFAs FAO-IUFRO initiative: implemented in collaboration with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; Objective: improve access, world-wide and in several languages, to state-of-the-art knowledge on a wide range of subjects relevant to national forest assessments; To be developed by: Lead authors from the IUFRO network. Each chapter will have one lead author and co-authors. Representatives from countries for case studies; and Institutions such FAO, IUFRO and the Department of Forest Resource Management and Geomatics of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. http://www.fao.org/forestry/fra-knowledgeref Slide18: Examples: Current projectsSlide19: Thank you You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
