Meeting symbol/code: COFO 2001 REP

The First International Workshop on Community Forestry in Africa was held in the Gambia in February 1999. It began the process of bringing together all of the African experiences in community-based natural resource management. Until the Gambia workshop, those looking for documentation of existing initiatives would have looked towards Asia for information about best practices and experience in participatory forest management.

Summary of conference proceedings incorporating the text of papers presented

Bнастоящем десятом по счету обзоре Состояние лесов мира подробно излагается непреложная истина: леса, лесное хозяйство и лесная продукция играют важнейшую роль в процессе устойчивого развития. Обзор Состояние лесов мира публикуется каждые два года. На протяжении всей истории экономическое развитие сопровождалось обезлесением. Именно в связи с обезлесением в лесоведении появилась и эволюционировала концепция устойчивого развития.

This report discusses these trends by reference to examples from many countries which suggest viable ways to realise the development potential of wood energy without environmental or social drawbacks. It describes a changing role for wood energy in a changing world where fuelwood and wood-based fuels need no longer be associated with poverty or underdevelopment but could rank among viable modern options open to energy users everywhere.
