Scottish Forestry Strategy We will conserve and improve the biodiversity of our forests and woods by, amongst other things, promoting good environmental practice in the management of our production forests; by encouraging the use of Forest Plans that enable a coherent, comprehensive and long term view to be taken of their management; by working to increase the area of old growth stands and the use of systems which encourage 'continuous cover'. Supporting and enhancing biodiversity We will help to implement the relevant Native Woodland Habitat Action Plans and Species Action Plans Scotland's forests and woodlands In the past ten years Scotland's forest resource has become increasingly diverse and more natural looking through the use of open space and encouraging the increased use of native and broadleaved trees, often planted in mosaics along with more productive conifers. This brings further environmental benefits, as well as providing a haven for wildlife. In addition, our forests provide a variety of wonderful opportunities for recreation and education.

But EIA has spearheaded new strategies and at last timber consuming and producing countries are starting to come together to tackle forest crime. Since 1997 EIA has worked in partnership with an Indonesian organisation called Telapak . Together, we have exposed rampant illegal logging in National Parks, worked with other organisations and communities throughout Indonesia and promoted ideas and information to improve forest policy in Indonesia and throughout the world.

For its size Nicaragua is incredibly rich in biological diversity. Despite its history of imperialist economic exploitation and military conflict, Central America remains one of the most biologically rich regions on planet Earth. It is estimated that Central America contains 7% of Earth's biodiversity in less than .5% of the total land area. This is due in large part to the diversity of landscapes that are packed into a small area, as well as the rich rainforest, coastal and coral reef habitats. Nicaragua's Atlantic Coast region has the largest remaining rainforests in Central America. The Indio-Maiz Biosphere Reserve in southeastern Nicaragua, and the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve in northeastern Nicaragua, along with adjacent forests in Honduras represent one of the best opportunities in the Americas to protect large intact rainforest habitats north of Amazonia. These forests lie at the heart of a proposed Mesoamerican Biological Corridor that would extend throughout the Central American isthmus.

Environment and International Law Forests Environment and Natural Resources Law International Law Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction International Environmental Conventions International Environmental Law State Succession Resources Publications Useful Links About Us Overview Our Partners International Environmental Law and the Protection of Forests: Rio's Forest Principles Declaration World forests, in particular tropical forests, are disappearing at an alarming rate. As that resource disappears, the planet's biodiversity and valuable human habitat is also at risk. For the past decade, the preoccupation with the fate of the world's forests has crossed individual country boundaries and became an international environmental concern. While such concern has not resulted yet in a comprehensive international treaty on the subject, some progress have been made toward agreeing on some basic principles on how the international community views the protection and use of forests. Reflecting the wording found in both the Stockholm and Rio Declarations, the Forest Declaration's first principle asserts the State's "sovereign right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own environmental policies and have the responsibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction." While the well established sovereignty right of State to use its resources is clear from such first principle, at least two other international environmental law principles seem to surface from such first principle: (a) that States should not use its territory to cause harm to other States; and (b) the duty to prevent harm.

Forests and Biodiversity Deforestation remains one of the pressing global natural resource problems facing humankind. Tropical forests, in particular, continue to disappear at a staggering rate in the face of growing populations and the demand for economic goods. Over the past decade, 154 million hectares of tropical forests, equivalent to almost three times the land area of France, have been cleared.

Protecting the Forests with Btk "Btk is a naturally occurring organism and it is found in the soil and on plants around the world." Introduction Newfoundland's forests are an important resource. Many of us enjoy spending time n the woods camping, hiking, fishing or hunting. Others make a living from the forests through tourism or from the responsible harvest of trees for the pulp and paper and the saw milling industries, building homes or for firewood. A healthy forest ecosystem contributes to healthy forest wildlife, ponds , streams, air and soil. A healthy forest benefits us all. The hemlock looper and spruce budworm are common insects in Newfoundland's forests. When their populations are low, they cause little damage to the trees. At low population levels, the insects provide an important food source for other forest wildlife. However, when their populations suddenly get very high, they can cause considerable damage to the forest affecting not only the trees, but parks, ponds and streams too. When large areas of trees are killed by the insects, it directly affects everyone who makes a living from or just enjoys spending time in the woods. Widespread tree death will also affect forest wildlife. Forest resource managers must act quickly and respond to protect the forest from widespread damage from high insect populations. it is important to protect the integrity of the forest ecosystem by maintaining a balance in the ecosystem. One of the ways that the government and the pulp and paper companies protect the forest from hemlock looper or spruce budworm outbreaks is through the use of biological insecticides like

The President's Healthy Forests Initiative EA Pilot Projects History The American people, their property, and our environment, particularly the forests and rangelands of the West, are threatened by catastrophic fires and environmental degradation. The last several fire seasons are some of the worst in modern history. Hundreds of millions of trees and invaluable habitat are destroyed each year by these severe wildfires. These unnaturally extreme fires are caused by a crisis of deteriorating forest and rangeland health, the result of a century of well-intentioned but misguided wildland fire management. Renewed efforts to restore our public lands to healthy conditions are needed. America 's public lands have undergone radical changes during the last century due to the suppression of fires. Today, the forests and rangelands of the West have become unnaturally dense, and ecosystem health has suffered significantly. When coupled with seasonal droughts, these unhealthy forests, overloaded with fuels, are vulnerable to unnaturally severe wildfires. Currently, 190 million acres of public land are at increased risk of catastrophic wildfires. Background In August 2002, President Bush announced the Healthy Forests Initiative, directing the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop administrative and legislative measures that will help reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire to America's forests and rangelands. The initiative builds on a historic ten-year plan for reducing wildfire risks adopted last spring by federal agencies in cooperation with western and southern governors, county commissioners, state foresters and tribal officials.
