Such income, from the sale of non timber forest products, can be particularly important for rural women.

The work of the Forum, and the objectives of sustainable forest management, are inextricably linked to sustainable consumption and the production of timber and non timber forest products.

(e) Information supplied by members on their progress towards the establishment of control and information mechanisms regarding illegal harvesting and illegal trade in tropical timber and non timber forest products.

Enhancing the capacity of members to implement strategies for achieving exports of tropical timber and timber products from sustainably managed sources

In the United Kingdom, 60 big buyers of timber products have pledged not to buy uncertified products after 1999.

(d) Enhancing the capacity of members to implement strategies for achieving exports of tropical timber and timber products from sustainably managed sources

The objectives of the International Tropical Timber Agreement, 2005 (hereinafter referred to as this Agreement ) are to promote the expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber from sustainably managed and legally harvested forests and to that end promote the sustainable management of tropical timber producing forests taking into account the contribution of non timber forest products and ecological services

In 2004, UNIFEM, in collaboration with non governmental partners, piloted an initiative in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India to improve the livelihoods of rural women in the non timber forest products sector.

2quater Non timber forest products mean goods of biological origin other than wood that are derived from forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests excluding genetic resources

This poses considerable challenges, given the difficulty of identifying the sources of processed timber products.

Well, mass timber panels, these new products that we're using, are much like the log.

The Bali Partnership Programme is hereby established, to enhance the capacity of members to achieve exports of tropical timber and timber products from sustainably managed forests.

Certification of origin of timber and timber products, chain of custody systems and voluntary codes of conduct are important tools in combating illegal practices in forestry.

Raising the efficiency of the manufacture of forest products could reduce timber needs by about a quarter.

Promoting better understanding of the contribution of non timber forest products and ecological services to the sustainable management of tropical forests and cooperating with relevant institutions and processes to this end

Examples of policy activities include, inter alia, forest law enforcement, certification, market access, development of guidelines, ex post evaluation, studies on market conditions, status of tropical forest management, community forest management, tenure rights, further processing of tropical timber , trade of non timber forest products and ecosystem services.

Where forests play a critical role in enabling people to cope with poverty, their rights should be safeguarded by providing and securing tenure and access to wood and non timber forest products.

(o) Noting that timber is an energy efficient, renewable and environmentally friendly raw material compared with competing products

Nothing in this Agreement authorizes the use of measures to restrict or ban international trade in, and in particular as they concern imports of, and utilization of, timber and timber products.

Nothing in this Agreement authorizes the use of measures to restrict or ban international trade in, and in particular as they concern imports of and utilization of, timber and timber products.

(ii) Non recurrent publications products

Where forests play a critical role in enabling people to cope with poverty, their rights should be safeguarded by providing and securing of tenure and access to wood and non timber forest products.

2. Further processing means the transformation of logs into primary wood products, semi finished and finished products made wholly or almost wholly of tropical timber and transformation of other forest products to give them added value

(b) Providing a forum for consultation to promote non discriminatory timber trade practices

Innovative approaches have included working closely with communities to develop solutions, such as agroforestry systems, which can help meet future needs for wood and non timber forest products within the context of broader livelihood requirements.

(h) Reaffirming their commitment to moving as rapidly as possible toward achieving exports of tropical timber and timber products from sustainably managed sources (ITTO Objective 2000) and recalling the establishment of the Bali Partnership Fund

In practice, however, constraints of accessibility, technology and institutional arrangements cause local and regional shortfalls in supply that put pressure on some forests for unsustainable levels of harvesting of wood (including fuelwood and non timber forest products).

Even this basic level of subsistence is threatened where tenure rights are insecure often forest laws deny or limit the right to use wood and non timber forest products, or rights of access and residence are denied.

So we plant it later, along the waterways to filter the water, provide the raw products just in time for when the timber becomes available.

(e) Also recognizing the importance of the multiple economic, environmental and social benefits provided by forests, including timber and non timber forest products and ecological services, at local, national and global levels and in this context the contribution of sustainable forest management to sustainable development and poverty alleviation and the achievement of internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the Millennium Declaration

Among CPF members, the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) is implementing Objective 2000, which provides support to countries with a view to their achieving exports of tropical timber and timber products from sustainably managed forests, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is developing best practice guidelines, where appropriate in collaboration with ITTO.

Poor regulation and difficulties in identifying sawn timber and other processed products ensure that there is little hard evidence to demonstrate the extent of the trade.

Carbon is stored in living biomass, including standing timber, branches, foliage and roots, and in dead biomass, including litter, woody debris, soil organic matter and forest products.
