At last a really useful book telling us how all the rhetoric about
ecosystem approaches and sustainable forest management is being
translated into practical solutions on the ground CLAUDE MARTIN,
WWF INTERNATIONAL For too long, foresters have seen forests as logs
waiting to be turned into something useful. This book demonstrates
that forests in fact have multiple values, and managing them as
ecosystems will bring more benefits to a greater cross-section of
the public JEFFREY A. MCNEELY, CHIEF SCIENTIST, IUCN This book
demonstrates that [ecosystem approaches and sustainable forest
management] are neither alternative methods of forest management
nor are they simply complicated ways of saying the same thing. They
are both emerging concepts for more integrated and holistic ways of
managing forests within larger landscapes in ways that optimize
benefits to all stakeholders ACHIM STEINER AND IAN JOHNSON, FROM
THE FOREWORD Recent innovations in Sustainable Forest Management
and Ecosystem Approaches are resulting in forests increasingly
being managed as part of the broader social-ecological systems in
which they exist. Forests in Landscapes reviews changes that have
occurred in forest management in recent decades. Case studies from
Europe, Canada, the United States, Russia, Australia, the Congo and
Central America provide a wealth of international examples of
innovative practices. Cross-cutting chapters examine the political
ecology and economics of forest management, and review the
information needs and the use and misuse of criteria and indicators
to achieve broad societal goals for forests. A concluding chapter
draws out the key lessons of changes in forest management in recent
decades and sets out some thoughts for the future. This book is a
must-read for practitioners, researchers and policy makers
concerned with forests and land use. It contains lessons for all
those concerned with forests as sources of people's livelihoods and
as part of rural landscapes. Published with IUCN and PROFOR
