| Community-based forest management has proliferated throughout Africa as national governments have decentralized the administration of public forestry. Community-based forestry has taken multiple forms, depending on the assortment of land-tenure systems, forest-use norms, wood demand, and social organization, among others factors. Nature, Wealth, and Power is an analytical framework that has been developed from experiences in natural resource management in Africa. In this paper, we amend the framework to People, Nature, Wealth, and Power (PNWP), and propose it as an analytical lens for community-based forest management initiatives. We use the PNWP framework to assess the responsiveness of contractual forest management in the Menabe region of Madagascar to... |

| This paper analyzes the role of afforestation-reforestation and timber management activities, and their major and secondary economic effects in stabilizing climate during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In particular, with a Computable General Equilibrium framework, the ICES model, it is inferred how forest carbon sequestration fits within the European domestic portfolio of a 2020-20 and 2020-30 climate stabilization policy. Afforestation and land use are accounted for by introducing their effects in the model. This is done by relying on carbon sequestration curves provided by Sohngen (2005), which describe the average annual cost of sequestration for selected world regions. Results show that afforestation and timber management could... |

| Aplicaram-se questionarios aos agricultores de 53 imoveis rurais na regiao de Ouricuri, PE, a fim de identificar o uso de recursos florestais de forma qualitativa e quantitativa. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram uma utilizacao bastante diversificada destes recursos: producao de lenha e carvao, cercas, construcoes rurais, carpintaria, artesanato e exploracao de especies forrageiras. As especies usadas com mais frequencia na construcao das cercas foram o angico Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth) Brenan, a aroeira Astronium urundeuva (Fr.All) Engl., o marmeleiro Croton sonderianus Muell. Org. e o quebra-faca Croton sp. O consumo medio anual de lenha obtido por propriedade foi de 51 esteroas. A producao media anual de carvao foi estimada em 7,7 m3 por... |

| O Brasil e um dos paises com maior diversidade genetica, respondendo por cerca de 30% das plantas e especies animais que ocorrem no mundo. Dentre os diferentes biomas brasileiros, os Cerrados, com seus 207 milhoes de hectares, apresenta uma grande diversidade faunistica e floristica em suas diferentes fisionomias vegetais. Ate meados deste seculo esta regiao era considerada como marginal para producao agricola, no entanto, devido ao desenvolvimento da pesquisa e de tecnologias agricolas que viabilizaram sua utilizacao em bases economicas, hoje ela e responsavel pela producao de cerca de 35% de graos e carnes do pais. O modelo de ocupacao da terra utilizado, baseado no uso intensivo de insumos e maquinas pesadas, se de um lado, no ultimos vinte anos,... |

| With a very high forest cover (over 80%) and low population density (below 5 inhbts/km2), Gabon is still a forest biodiversity rich country. Gabon's forests are amongst the richest in Africa in terms of botanical diversity and endemism for example, 22% of plants described in the Flora of Gabon are endemic and the forests of Gabon have more plant species (estimated at 8000 species) than all of the forests of West Africa combined. The fauna is also rich, estimated at more than 190 mammal species, including at least 20 species of monkeys, more than 600 species of birds, 70 species of reptiles and 100 species of amphibians. About 35,000 gorillas and 64,000 chimpanzees dwell in Gabon forests and elephants number between 60,000 and 74,000 individuals. The... |

| Greenhouse gas (GHG) removals by afforestation and reforestation project activities under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are vulnerable to a variety of risks and uncertainties, resulting in the partial or total reversal of such removals. Hence, GHG removals from these sink activities are considered to be of temporary nature and non-permanent. Specific modalities related to non-permanence will need to be developed in order to include afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM and for a decision on modalities to be reached at COP 9 in December 2003. Two main options on how to address non-permanence have been proposed, these being temporary credits and insurance of emission reduction credits. This paper discusses... |

| The coastal forest communities of Kenya exist mainly as isolated blocks which show high levels of species endemism and comprise a total of about 83,800ha in a narrow belt which extends inland for about 30km. The forests are characterized by dense or moderately dense stands of tall trees, species of the genera Sterculia, Chlorophora and Memecylon. The drier woodlands include stands of Cynometra, Manilkara and Afzelia. Centuries of human occupation have reduced the forest element which was originally more extensive. Mangrove swamps occur in tidal estuaries and lagoons while coconut palms are common above high tide. A complex of many bush types occur in the high bush area. Scattered baobab trees present a striking appearance while the prevalence of mango... |
