The purpose of this report is to review
and disseminate lessons learned from domestically financed
forestry programs in China and from those programs financed
by international organizations, and to recommend best
practices on sustainable forest management. Projects covered
by the review include those supported by the World Bank (the
Bank), the German Corporation for International Cooperation
(GIZ), Kreditanstalt Fur Wiederaufbeau (KfW), and those
financed by the Government of China. In addition to
conclusions on the most promising models for sustainable
forest management (SFM), the review presents an overview of
the main sources of financing for SFM and recommendations on
what needs to be done to strengthen financial support for
SFM. Forests play a key role in the conservation and
protection of a wide range of ecosystems, including water
courses, watersheds, wetlands, drylands, and deserts. They
also serve important functions in conserving on-farm
ecosystems, grasslands, and urban environments. Such is the
importance of global forest ecosystems that they are often
called the ‘the lungs of the Earth,’ the ‘kidneys of the
Earth,’ or the ‘immune system of the Earth.’ They are also
regarded as pivotal in stabilizing terrestrial ecosystems by
balancing and offsetting changes in global dynamics that
adversely affect terrestrial ecosystems, such as the
sequestration of carbon dioxide. |
