Clough, G.Cerutti, P.O.Nasi, RobertTacconi, L.[Cameroon needs more than approved forest management plans]Cameroon needs more than approved forest management plans

One of the main objectives of the 1994 Cameroonian forestry law is to improve the management of production forests by including minimum safeguards for sustainability into compulsory forest management plans. As of 2007, about 3.5 million hectares (60%) of the productive forests are harvested follo...


Cerutti, P.O.Nasi, RobertTacconi, L.[Sustainable forest management in Cameroon needs more than approved forest management plans.]Sustainable forest management in Cameroon needs more than approved forest management plans.

As of mid-2008, 63 of the 101 available forest management units (FMUs) in Cameroon were managed according to approved management plans, and seven FMUs had received a FSC certification. This paper provides a preliminary assessment of the volumetric and financial variations incurred by logging comp...


Cerutti, P.O.Tacconi, L.Nasi, Robert[Trading legality with precaution: preliminary impacts of management plans and forest certification in the Cameroonian forests.]Trading legality with precaution: preliminary impacts of management plans and forest certification in the Cameroonian forests.

Tropical deforestation is leading to a loss of economically productive timber concessions, as well as areas with important environmental or socio-cultural values. To counteract this threat in Southeast Asia, sustainable forest management (SFM) practices are becoming increasingly important. We ass...

The concept of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) has a pivotal role for both the Cameroonian legal framework and market-based instruments such as forest certification. We assess the different impacts on timber harvesting of the forest legal framework as compared to the adoption of forest certif...


Cerutti, P.O.Tacconi, L.Nasi, RobertLescuyer, G.[Legal vs. certified timber: preliminary impacts of forest certification in Cameroon]Legal vs. certified timber: preliminary impacts of forest certification in Cameroon

A major challenge in trading ecosystem services is the need to quantify and commoditise services, for monitoring and verification as well as for trade. This is relatively straightforward for goods such as forest honey or shade-grown coffee, but potentially complex for services such as water purif...


Meijaard, E.Sheil, DouglasGuariguata, M.R.Nasi, RobertSunderland, T.C.H.Putzel, L.[Ecosystem services certification: Opportunities and constraints]Ecosystem services certification: Opportunities and constraints

In order to maintain the high levels of biodiversity and the ecological functions of tropical forest landscapes in South East Asia, production forests need to be managed in a more sustainable way. Numerous initiatives already exist in the form of codes of practice, criteria and indicators, and ce...

Due to the need for forest certification, the criteria and indicators for sustainable management of tropical forests have tended to operate more and more as standards, with criteria holding pride of place as compared to indicators. In practice, they are used as the definition of sustainability ap...


Karsenty, A.Lescuyer, G.Nasi, Robert[Est-il possible de determiner des criteres et indicateurs de gestion durable des forets tropicales?]Est-il possible de determiner des criteres et indicateurs de gestion durable des forets tropicales?

Tropical forests could satisfy multiple demands for goods and services both for present and future generations. Yet integrated approaches to natural forest management remain elusive across the tropics. In this paper we examine one combination of uses: selective harvesting of timber and non-timber...
