    Truth is that the reason privatization of forests is gaining steam across the world, is because there is now enough evidence to sufficiently conclude that productive deforestation is not advancing at a fast enough pace. (Brown C, Valentine J. 1992) Deforestation (defined as “the permanent destruction of indigenous forests and woodlands for either productive or non-productive use”) by staying in most government entities (with a few exceptions such as New Zealand) is actually doing more harm than good by not achieving its potential.…

    Creating protected areas where human activity is limited is the best way to prevent deforestation and exploitation of organisms and the resources they need to survive. In order to truly make a difference, much planning needs to go into the creation of a protected area. It needs to consider all elements of the ecosystem it is trying to protect, so that it isn’t too small. It needs to include all resources that are utilized by its inhabitants; for example, leaving out a stream where half of the mammals go to drink would not make a protected area very effective.…

    The experience gained from the Joint Forest Management (JFM) programmes of the past will be invaluable. The JFM measures did not live up to their promise in most States and, in some cases, existed only on paper. In the main, they left forest communities feeling alienated. That, nearly 40 per cent of open forest remains degraded today reinforces the need for a vastly improved management system.…
