You will move deeper and deeper into that forest, until the barbarians are convinced that it is safe to attack.

It got wilder as I got deeper into the woods.

The most prominent ones are included in the law on forests, which punishes the accidental causation of forest fires with terms of imprisonment of up to five years and the intentional setting of forest fires with imprisonment of up to 15 years.

Benefits of FOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION

A forest may consist either of closed forest formations where trees of various storeys and undergrowth cover a high proportion of the ground or open forest.

Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.

However, they are likely to differ in forest rich and forest poor countries.

Furthermore, the Panel continues to receive reports that mines are being opened in remote areas under the forest canopy where they are hidden from the air.

Combating deforestation and forest degradation

In addition, considerable efforts are being made to improve natural forest management and recover forest loss through the Forestry Incentives Programme of the National Forestry Institute (INAB).

In addition to CIFOR, technical support was also provided by other members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), including the Secretariat of the United Nations Forum on Forests, the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations through the National Forest Program Facility, the World Bank through the Program on Forests (PROFOR), and the International Tropical Timber Organization.

To analyse the implications of decentralization in key aspects of forest management for the development of national forest programmes (nfps) and to identify strategies that would allow such programmes to effectively address this issue.

The Executive Secretary stressed that any policy on sustainable forest management must aim at preserving existing forests and ensure that reforestation and afforestation policies were addressed and promoted.

The need for more streamlining and harmonization of forest related reporting is being addressed by a task force of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests.

(b) A collaborative framework on forests with a declaration of commitment on sustainable forest management, means of implementation, a strengthened reporting mechanism and a stronger secretariat and the Collaborative Partnership on Forests

Standardized solutions are considered impossible to address the diversity that exists in the world's forests and among the people who depend on them.

While forest biodiversity continues to decline as a result of deforestation, forest degradation and associated fragmentation of forest habitats, strong efforts are now being made to reverse this trend by restoring the forest functions in degraded forest landscapes.

IPF and IFF agreed on over 270 proposals for action for sustainable forest management.

National forest programmes have become a vital tool for promoting dialogue with other sectors and increasing understanding of the benefits that forests bring.

In addressing poverty, hunger and health, attention should be given to the opportunities afforded by forests to help meet the needs of forest dependent people.

Forest landscape restoration is relevant to a wide range of IPF and IFF proposals for action and the UNF programme of work.

The international arrangement on forests can facilitate cooperation to help realize the potential contribution of forests in conflict prevention, post conflict resolution and reconstruction, and to help in addressing forest law enforcement and governance.

Decentralization in the forest sector should not be implemented in isolation from a general national forestry strategy such as national forest programs.

Although, forests which timber is not properly harvested or which are in a pristine state without any forest management are included in this estimate, the team considers that the methodology used in estimating this forest sink capacity to be a result of a detailed and rigorous scientific work.

To this end, forest restoration, the natural expansion of forest and the establishment of plantation forests have helped, to some extent, in countering degradation of forest ecosystems and to bring environmental, commercial and social benefits to society.

Article 1 of the Covenant

The Convention has noted the importance of supporting the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests Intergovernmental Forum on Forests proposals for action, in particular those concerning the valuation of forest goods and services, and has stressed the need to harmonize the Convention's work with the proposals for action on traditional forest related knowledge.

The secretariat also participated in the fifth session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) held in New York from 16 to 27 May 2005.

The Network builds programmes for sustainable forest management that reflect the priorities, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities that are unique to the region, and lends support to existing model forests.
