• WHAT THE INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE ON FORESTS HAS CHANGED IN THE ROLE OF
PRODUCTION IN PROMOTING SFM?
Production vs. Protection?
• The conventional approach: development against environment (become obsolete)
• The foresters’ view: compromising between the two (still the basic concern with forest policies)
• The SFM issue: the integration of the two in a same strategy (not reached so far)
The new role of timber production
• The magic triangle: production as an element in SFM (economic sustainability)
• The need for integration: production choices subject to an analysis of their social and ecological impacts
• The use of wood -and not only the production- contributes to sustainability (market issues)
How wood production and use may
help in integrating dev. & env.? • A first approach: The full value of forests
• The market gives only one part of the value of the forest
• A need for internalising the externalities (environmental services)
• Wood production itself has a bigger value than its market price (carbon storage)
How wood production and use may help in integrating dev. & env.?
• A second approach: the wake effect of timber production
• All the utilities are equal, but one is more equal than the other ones (timber production)
• Focus on which production is able to draw more the other utilities (timber for construction?)
How wood production and use may help in integrating dev. & env.?
• A third approach: The ecosystem management
• a framework for integration of various utilities with minimum conflict and cost
• need of impact analysis (acceptable limits, side effects) on both ecological and social utilities
How wood production and use may help in integrating dev. & env.?
• A fourth approach: Basing on utilisation
• The certification issue (the consumers’ decisions?)
• The rationale of users (disconnection with the resource)
• The logic of the wood-chain: the timber price as a residue
For a « mixed » approach?
• A need for a concrete and pragmatic approach (depending on situations)
• A need for an adaptive management
• A need for combining expertise and communication (for an adapted decision making process)
• A need for a multi-theoretical framework
