Appropriate Small-scale Forest Harvesting Technologies for Southeast Asia: Rubber-tracked Mini-skidders

Training Resources & Tools
November, 2015
South-Eastern Asia

The Jonsereds Iron Horse (Swedish Järn Hästen) was the irst commercially available rubber-tracked mini-skidder (crawler) to appear in Scandinavian forest operations in the early 1980s. It was developed from smaller all-terrain crawlers, originally designed for use in hunting to transport moose and other large game over long distances.Yanmar bamboo crawler with engine in reverse position and clamping device for bamboo poles was used in trial harvesting in Bokeo, Lao PDR.

South-Eastern Asia

Steep-slope harvesting probably poses the biggest challenges in forest harvesting throughout the world. Traditionally, on slopes above 30 percent, gravitational transport is applied in manual harvesting operations by simply sliding logs downhill.

A Mapping of Ecosystem Services in Quang Tri and Ha Tinh Provinces, Viet Nam

Reports & Research
November, 2015
Vietnam

Goods and services provided by functioning ecosystems contribute directly and indirectly to human welfare and therefore represent a significant, yet often uncounted, portion of the total economic value of the landscape we live in. While there are many ways that humans can value their landscape, the ability to estimate the economic value of ecosystem goods and services provided by a landscape is increasingly recognized as 2

a valuable tool in weighing trade-offs in environmental decision-making and land-use planning.

Two Decades of Community Forestry in Nepal: What Have We Learned?

Reports & Research
October, 2011
Nepal

Development projects conceived now are rarely expected to have a life of more than five years, perhaps ten years at most. Looking back over more than twenty years of project experience in community forestry - itself grounded on an integrated development project of a similar time span - is thus a rare opportunity. The project has sought to promote social change in favor of the poor and disadvantaged, and it was recognized both by those involved in the project and by independent evaluators that this is not rapidly achieved

ForInfo Factsheet: Capacity Building in Sustainable Forest Management

Institutional & promotional materials
October, 2013
Cambodia

Wood energy is vital to the livelihoods of rural communities in the Mekong region, where over five times more fuelwood than timber is extracted for daily use. However, the energy needs of the community are commonly not factored into the establishment of market-oriented enterprises, which can lead to supply disruptions and subsequent impact on income as well as the environment. Hence, the importance of establishing sustainable community forest (CF) management, to ensure a stable provision of wood energy and to prevent gaps in supply and demand is significant.
