Анотация: This paper is the product of a collaborative effort led by FAO and the Center for International Forestry Research. We hope it will help managers, researchers and policy-makers to overcome the challenges, and realize the opportunities, for implementing multiple-use forest management in the humid tropics. Forest managers should be supported in efforts to realize the potential of MFM. Greater effort is needed to eliminate unfair competition from operators whose sole objective is to extract timber, with little or no concern for multiple uses. In most countries, the demarcation of a permanent forest estate and the development of national land-use plans would increase investment in long-term forest management and lend support to MFM. Improving the value of logged-over forest through silvicultural treatments would improve the chance of those forests being managed for multiple uses. Training and awareness-raising to change the entrenched mindsets of certain forestry stakeholders is also recommended. (fao.org)
