82. Tropical Forest Management Techniques: A Review Of The Sustainability Of Forest The notion of extractive reserves is one approach to conservation in production and excessive game hunting are the two main threats to fauna sustainability. http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/003/X4110e/X4110E05.htm

4 THE STATE OF TROPICAL FOREST MANAGEMENT: FOREST MANAGEMENT FOR CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION 4.1 Biodiversity conservation in forest ecosystems Conservation of natural forest ecosystems is the main function of most protected forest areas and the term "protected area" encompasses a vast variety of approaches for the management of natural and semi-natural forest types. Protected forest areas currently cover only 5% of the tropical forest area and the rate of growth in protected forest areas has declined in recent years due to increased land use pressure. However, national parks and forest reserves are no longer the only method that can be used for the conservation of biological diversity. A possible alternative is multiple use forest management, which incorporates harvesting of forest products within a framework of sustainable management that aims at both conserving biodiversity and supplying benefits to local people and the national economy. 4.1.1 Protected areas Although protected areas have been established that enjoy strict legal status, numerous problems arise in tropical zones in relation to their management. Problems include conflicts with local people over land rights and illegal extraction of animal and plant resources to mention just a few examples. These problems are often intensified due to the inability of state authorities to protect such areas. Hence, stated conservation achievements do not always reflect reality. In practice, even though there are good examples of effective national parks and forest reserves, the past hundred years or more have witnessed a parallel increase in both the number and surface area of protected areas and a growing number of extinct or threatened species. In effect:

What is "Sustainability"? "Sustainability . . . implies that the overall level of diversity and overall productivity of components and relations in systems are maintained or enhanced." - Richard Norgaard, 1988 "Sustainability requires at least a constant stock of natural capital, construed as the set of all environmental assets." - David Pearce, 1988 "Sustainability is the [emerging] doctrine that economic growth and development must take place, and be maintained over time, within the limits set by ecology in the broadest senseby the interrelations of human beings and their works, and the biosphere... It follows that environmental protection and economic development are complementary rather than antagonistic processes." - William D. Ruckelshaus - Scientific American, September 1989 "Sustainability is the ability of a system to sustain the livelihood of the people who depend on that system for an indefinite period." - Otto Soemarwoto, 1991 "Sustainability is the fundamental root metaphor that can oppose the notion of continued exponential material growth." - Ernest Callenbach, 1992

Intentional Communities, Sustainability and Environmental Conservation by Betty Branch A lthough "Sustainability" is a concept much prized by HopeDance aficionados, my 1992 dictionary lists no such word and my Spellcheck rejects it! Only four years or so ago did I first hear about "sustainability" from the lips of Architect Professor Polly Cooper, no less. Only then did I recognize the essential relationship between environmental conservation and intentional communities. Yet those have been two of my major interests for the past 30 years! Intentional communities enable many collaborative activities that foster environmental conservation. Unfortunately not all communities practice these. For example, friends sometimes decide to rent or buy units in the same condo or apartment house, yet make no attempt to carpool, etc. OPTIMAL sustainability exists only within such communities when they DO practice Environmental conservation. Neighbors can enjoy the kinds of advantages that prevailed in California through the late 1950's in the early suburbs (post WW2) as well as the long established rural areas with their barn-raisings, quilting bees and growers' co-operatives. These communities enabled pooled skills/talents, increased buying/selling power, exchange of services (including informal, as needed, childcare/elder care) and much much more. "Neighborliness" was taken for granted in those days.

High-Yield Conservation: The Only Global Sustainability for the 21st Century Alex A. Avery Humanity faces a daunting task as we enter the 21st century: Feeding a larger, more affluent world a better diet while at the same time conserving wildlife habitat, biodiversity and ecological integrity. The world is in the midst of the largest surge in global population in human history. Population growth rates peaked in 1996; however, the inherent momentum of population growth will drive the global population to 8-9 billion people before it stabilizes. This represents a 50 percent increase over the current population of 6 billion. Based on recent trends in fertility rate, current predictions call for a peak world population of 8.5 billion reached about the year 2040.[1] While population growth has been the focus of world attention over the past 30 years, it alone will not be the greatest challenge. Affluence will also increase global demand for farm resources. As living standards rise, a shift occurs from subsistence diets comprised mainly of grains, roots/tubers, and low animal protein consumption, to high-quality diets comprised mainly of varied grains, meats, dairy products, eggs, and consumption of diverse fruits and vegetables. The critical difference between the two is that it takes many more farm resources to produce a single calorie of meat or dairy products compared to cereal grains or tuber crops. Thus, the shift to a more affluent diet, higher in proportionate levels of animal protein, increases the demands on farm resources.

The existing policy, adopted in 1978 and revised in 2001, called for reducing energy consumption 15 percent in five years. University officials expect to exceed that goal by 3 percent. The new policy would require consideration of design practices, materials and systems to optimize energy to reduce operating costs for new buildings. The policy also calls for campuses to seek outside funding to obtain accreditation for "green building projects" because the state Department of Finance does not allow state funds to be spent that way. Student governing bodies at 19 of the 23 CSU campuses, including Cal State Monterey Bay, have adopted resolutions in support of a sustainability policy.

South Africa: Sustainability, Protected Areas, and Development The term "sustainability", which also means "maintainability" is readily and loosely used nowadays and i s often quoted as the "magic buzzword" whenever politicians and entrepreneurs alike wish to gain easy acceptance for a proposed development or programme. However, when one takes a closer look at the notion of sustainable development ("economic activity that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs") and at our track record in terms of natural resource use, the truth is that we are still very far off from achieving "sustainability". A retrospective evaluation of conservation and sustainable development projects shows that most have not achieved successful conservation nor sustainability and do not address human needs. At the first "Earth Summit" (Rio 92) the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, declared themselves conscious of the importance of biological diversity for evolution and for maintaining life-sustaining systems of the biosphere. Also, one of the most significant achievements of the Rio Summit was the laying down of the Precautionary Principle as a universal guideline for consideration of any action that "may" harm biological diversity!

Can Populist conservation sustain advances in World sustainability . Kit Richards begins .. http://homepages.caverock.net.nz/~bj/beech/papers/kit-lect.htm

Kit Richards lectures at the School of Forestry, refuting the preservationist ethics of NFA, the NZ Greens, and Forest and Bird. He demonstrates that ecological, sustainable forest management, as developed by Timberlands West Coast delivered not only what New Zealand needs, also shows the way for the World to meet Agenda 21 and Rio agreements. The preservationist model is exposed as non- functional and unrealistic in the New Zealand context, inevitably resulting impoverished biodiversity and impoverished human society. Can Populist Conservation sustain advances in World Sustainability? By Kit Richards , 9 June 2000 Recorded and transcribed by Brian Swale. Note: to make this whole document easier to read, I have inserted headings that Kit did not make explicit in his talk. They are there to break up the expanse of text into more digestible chunks. Introduction. Hello everyone, and welcome to this special session on the indigenous forestry. I'm Nora Devoe, Senior lecturer in indigenous forestry at the School of Forestry, and I will be moderating this final session, in our special series on management of indigenous forests. We heard first on conservation biology from Dr David Norton, who talked to us about how wildlife and sustainable management can be compatible, and then we heard from Eugenie Sage, from Forest and Bird, who talked to us about points where management and conservation are
