TABLE 3E STATUS AND TRENDS IN FOREST MANAGEMENT IN NORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA

Comments to Table 3

Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

Membership of eco-regional processes on criteria and indicators are listed using the following acronyms:

ATO

African Timber Organisation

DZAf

The Dry-Zone Africa Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

DFAs

Regional Initiative for the Development and Implementation of National Level Criteria and Indicators for the Sustainable Management of Dry Forests in Asia

EUR

The Pan-European Forest Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

ITTO

International Tropical Timber Organization

LEP

Lepaterique Process of Central America on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

MON

Montreal Process on Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests

NE

The Near East Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management

TARA

The Tarapoto Proposal of Criteria and Indicators for Sustainability of the Amazon Forest

Four countries, which were invited to join the Pan-European Forest Process (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, San Marino and Yugoslavia) as of December 2000, have been included in the table.

Although many more countries are members of ITTO, only those which are applying the ITTO criteria and indicators have been listed in this table.

Area under forest management plans in 2000

National-level information on area under forest management plans was provided by eighty-three countries, including all major industrialized countries as part of FRA 2000 reporting. (For a list of national correspondents for FRA 2000, refer to FAO 2001b). Clarification is currently being sought in six cases and these reports have been excluded from the analysis. An additional 14 countries (Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago and Urugauy) supplied comparable information to FAO’s Latin American and Caribbean Forestry Commission in 2000. An attempt was made to obtain information from auxiliary sources.

References and country-specific comments are listed in Table 4. More general comments by region are found below.

Figures marked with an asterix (*) denote partial figures.

For industrialized countries (Europe, CIS countries, Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA) the areas listed include all forest areas managed irrespective of whether a formal plan exists or not. See further explanation under the geographical regions below. For additional information on these countries refer to UN-ECE/FAO (2000).

Some countries (including all the industrial countries and many in South America) provided information both on the total area of forest managed/under management plan (in hectares) and on the area in percentage of the latest figure available for the total area of forest. In this study, the area figures provided have been used and the percentage figures (which are in percentage of the estimated forest area in Year 2000) may therefore differ from national statistics and should be treated with some caution. One notable exception concerns countries, which reported that all forest areas are under management. In these cases the percentage figure (100 percent) was used and the actual area figure was re-calculated to correspond to the Year 2000 forest area figure. The figure of the area under management may, therefore, differ from national statistics for these countries.

Africa:

The definition used for forest area managed in Africa is: " The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)"

Asia:

Two definitions for forest area managed were used in Asia: Industrialized countries (CIS countries, Cyprus, Israel, Japan and Turkey) reported on “Forest [and other wooded land] which is managed in accordance with a formal or an informal plan applied regularly over a sufficiently long period (5 years or more). The management operations include the tasks to be accomplished in individual forest stands (e.g. compartments) during the given period”. It was also recommended that and areas where a decision has been made not to manage them at all should be included. The figures used are those pertaining to forests only, excluding other wooded lands.

The remaining countries reported on " The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)"

Oceania:

With two exceptions (Australia and New Zealand), the definition used for forest area managed in Oceania is: " The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)"

For Australia and New Zealand, the definition included informal management plans and areas where a decision has been made not to manage them at all.

Europe:

The definition used for forest area managed in all the European countries is: “Forest [and other wooded land] which is managed in accordance with a formal or an informal plan applied regularly over a sufficiently long period (5 years or more). The management operations include the tasks to be accomplished in individual forest stands (e.g. compartments) during the given period”. It was also recommended that in areas where a decision has been made not to manage them at all should be included. The figures used are those pertaining to forests only, excluding other wooded lands.

North and Central America:

With two exceptions (Canada and USA), the definition used for forest area managed in North and Central America is: " The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)"

For Canada and USA, the definition included informal management plans and areas where a decision has been made not to manage them at all.

South America:

The definition used for forest area managed in South America is: " The area of forest which is managed for various purposes (conservation, production, other) in accordance with a formal, nationally approved, management plan over a sufficiently long period (five years or more)"

Areas under forest management in 1990 and 1980

Figures for areas under forest management in 1990 and 1980 are taken from the following references:

FAO 1988. An interim report on the state of forest resources in the developing countries. Miscellaneous paper FO:MISC/88/7. Forest Resources Division, FAO.

FAO/UNEP 1982. Tropical forest resources. FAO Forestry Paper 30, 106 p., Rome

UN-ECE/FAO 1985. The Forest Resources of the ECE Region (Europe, the USSR, North America). United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Geneva and FAO, Rome.

UN-ECE/FAO 1992. The Forest Resources of the Temperate Zones. The UN-ECE/FAO 1990 Forest Resources Assessment. Volume 1. General Forest Resource Information. United Nations, New York.

The percentages are taken as the percentage of the respective forest areas in 1980 and 1990 as provided in the above references.

The definitions of forest under management were as follows:

1980 tropical countries:

“Area of forest under intensive management” defined as follows: “The concept of intensive management is used here in a restricted way and implies not only the strict and controlled application of harvesting regulations but also silvicultural treatments and protection against fires and diseases.”

1980 ECE countries:

“Area of forest being managed according to a forest management plan”

1990 ECE countries:

“Forests under active management” defined as “Forest and other wooded land that is managed according to a professionally prepared plan or is otherwise under a recognized form of management applied regularly over a long period (five years or more)”.

Note that the definition of “forest” changed for industrialized countries between 1990 and 2000 (from a crown cover of 20 percent to ten percent) so the figures are not directly comparable.

For details, please refer to the references cited above.

Certified forest areas

The cumulative area of forests certified under the following schemes is listed:

ATFP	American Tree Farm Program (as of December 2000)
CSA	Canada's National Sustainable Forest Management System Standard (as of 21 December 2000)
SC	Forest Stewardship Council-Accredited Certification Bodies (as of 31 December 2000)
GT	Green Tag (USA) (as of December 31, 2000)
PEFC	Pan-European Forest Certification (National schemes endorsed by the PEFC Council) (as of December 2000)
SFI	Sustainable Forest Initiative Program - American Forest and Paper Association (for Canada - as of 21 December 2000, for USA as of October 2000).

Although more than 72 million acres of land is enrolled in the SFI program in the US and Canada, and plans are to have 56 million ha under third party certification by the end of 2001, only those areas which have already been independently certified have been included (12 million in the USA and 1.04 million ha in Canada.)

Areas certified under the ISO 14001Environmental Management System Standard scheme have only been included if also certified under specific forest certification schemes.

Canada: A total of 30,980 046 ha of forest has been certified under the ISO 14001Environmental Management System Standard scheme (as of 21 December 2000). However, only those area which have also been certified under CSA, FSC or SFI - equivalent to 3,615,000 ha - have been included in this table.

New Zealand: More than 300,000 ha have been certified under the ISO 14001 14001 Environmental Management System Standard scheme (as of May 2000). These areas have not been included in the table.

Ghana, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others, are developing national certification schemes and additional areas may soon be certified under these. A total of 2,325,356 ha of forests in three states of Malaysia (Pahang, Terengganu and Selangor) have, as a first step, been assessed to the requirements of a mutually agreed standard and were awarded "audit statements" by an independent third party assessor (the Keurhout Foundation) under the Malaysia/Netherlands cooperation programme (H. Singh, NTCC pers. comm. (2001)).
