New landscapes for community forestry. Secretariat note of the Twenty-seventh session of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission
Community-based forestry (CBF) is broadly defined as initiatives, sciences, policies, institutions and processes that are intended to increase the role of local people in governing and managing forest resources. CBF takes many forms, e.g. joint forest management, participatory conservation, partial or full devolution of management rights and private ownership. It includes both collaborative regimes (forestry practiced on land that has some form of communal tenure and requires collective action) and smallholder forestry (on land that is generally privately owned). Throughout Asia and the Pacific, CBF is considered an important modality to contribute to addressing deforestation and degradation. In reality, the potential of CBF can go beyond this.
