The Global Biodiversity Strategy' signed in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro,
and the resolutions at the Ministerial Conferences on the
Protection of Forests in Europe in Strasbourg, 1990, and Helsinki,
1993, commit the signatory states to monitor nationally the state
of biodiversity and to sustain the characteristic natural variation
in the country. Sustainability and long-term planning are the two
terms best describing the philosophy of traditional forest
management practices. However, the traditional planning techniques
are not primarily developed to maintain sustainability of
biodiversity. The gap between the international commitments and the
practices in forest assessment and management is obvious. This
publication presents experience in methodology for assessing and
monitoring the variation of ecosystems and habitats in relation to
biodiversity conservation and for integrating biodiversity in
regional planning of forest management and land use. The state of
the art in the field of natural resource assessments with special
reference to forest biodiversity is reviewed, progress in
integrating data on biodiversity in forest management planning is
presented and the information needs regarding biodiversity
conservation and the question to what degree assessment methods for
forest biodiversity can be simplified for practical applications
are discussed. The book is intended for researchers and
practitioners in the field of forest and environmental planning and
environmental policies.
