Global Forest Resources Assessment Towards FRA 2010

This report examines the policy, legal, and institutional framework for sustainable forest management, addressing the needs of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). It includes trends in forest extent, species abundance and distribution, protected areas, genetic diversity, invasive alien species, sustainable management area, wood products from sustainable sources, ecological footprints, and connectivity/fragmentation. The report also covers policy, laws, institutions, remote sensing survey data, forest distribution, forest change dynamics, and other relevant information.

  1. Global Forest Resources Assessment Towards FRA 2010

  2. Towards FRA 2010 • Guidance from Kotka V: • 7 Thematic elements of SFM • Inputs to CBD Target 2010 • Global remote sensing survey • National correspondents • Harmonization of reporting • Endorsed by COFO • UNFF Global Objectives • Kotka V

  3. Sustainable forest management POLICY, LEGAL & INSTITUTIONALFRAMEWORK

  4. Meeting the needs of CBD • Trends in: • The extent of selected biomes, ecosystems and habitats • Abundance & distribution of species • Protected areas • Status of threatened species • Genetic diversity • Invasive alien species

  5. Meeting the needs of CBD • Area of forest under sustainable management • Proportion of wood products derived from sustainable sources • Ecological footprints and related concepts • Connectivity/fragmentation of ecosystems

  6. Policy, laws and institutions • New tables on: • Forest law • Forest policy • Forest institutions • Research and education • Public expenditures • Special study

  7. Remote sensing survey • Distribution of forests • Trend statistics

  8. Distribution of forests

  9. FOREST Reforestation Natural regeneration AfforestationNaturalexpansion Forest change dynamics DeforestationNaturaldisasters OTHERLAND

  10. National correspondents • 172 • Alternates needed • Regular contact • Regional networks • (Europe, Asia, North America, Latin America)

  11. Harmonized reporting

  12. Next steps • Update list of national correspondents • Review of draft tables and plans for RSS • Preparation of guidelines • Launch of FRA 2010 • Regional workshops • 2008-2009: Bulk of work for NCs • 2010: Report preparation
