Fuelwood and charcoal continue to be indispensable in cooking the daily meal for most people in sub-Saharan Africa; in addition, wood as a fuel represents an important source of income. Pressure on forest resources as well as health hazards through indoor air pollution have resulted in more calls for switching to alternative energy sources. Our authors suggest another alternative: improving the existing supply chains.

أما التقييم العالمي لحالة الموارد الحرجية لعام 2015 القائم على بيانات أكثر شمولية وموثوقية من أي وقت مضى، والذي يغطي234 بلداً وإقليماً، فيب ّين إشارات مشجّعة إلى الإدارة المحسنة للغابات وإلى التراجع العالمي لمعدلات إزالة الغابات. ولكن ينبغي لهذا الاتجاه الإيجابي أن يتعزز ولا سيما في البلدان التي لا تزال متأخرة على هذا الصعيد.

A sourcebook and survey modules are being developed by five bodies (FAO, CIFOR, IFRI, the World Bank's LSMS and PROFOR) to collect data on the socioeconomic contributions of forests to household welfare and livelihoods at aggregate scales. The modules have been field-tested in three countries. This flyer is intended to disseminate information on the launch of the sourcebook and survey modules in October 2016 to the partcipants of the IUCN World Conservation Congress in September 2016.

Located in the Keserwan-Jbeil region of Lebanon, the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve (N 34º 03’ 43.93”, E 35º 46’ 09.84”) is bordered by the Nahr Ibrahim river to the north and the Nahr el Dahab river to the south. The area of the reserve is approximately 6 500 ha large and the range of altitudes (350 to 1 600 m) is responsible for a wide variety of habitats. A typical Mediterranean ecosystem is located within the reserve, where evergreen sclerophylic shrubs and forests are the most common type of vegetation spread on karstic landscapes and steep slopes.

Le site pilote retenu est celui du bassin versant de Siliana (figure 1.1). Le gouvernorat auquel il appartient, et dont il porte le nom, s’étend sur une surface totale de 464 200 ha. Ce gouvernorat est situé dans la partie sud-est de la région nord-ouest de la Tunisie qui englobe les quatre gouvernorats du Kef, Jendouba, Siliana et Béja.

This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood, and Forestry, and the European Union in 5 countries in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Near East (Lebanon, Turkey).

This document is the final report for the Turkish pilot site of the component of the project "Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes". It contributes to the production of data and development of tools to support decision and management of vulnerable Mediterranean forest ecosystems affected by climate change and the ability of these forest ecosystems to adapt to global change.

A Comparative Study of Land Rights Systems in Southeast
Asia and the Potential of National and International Legal
