Trading forest carbon to promote the adoption of reduced impact logging
Several Indonesian plywood industry companies involved in logging are beginning to adopt improved harvesting practices. A number of organizations and individuals have undertaken analyses of the costs and impacts of implementing selected reduced impact logging (RIL) components. These analyses incl...

Pedoman reduced impact logging Indonesia
Although reduced-impact logging (RIL) techniques are well known and generally endorsed by tropical foresters, rates of adoption of RIL by loggers have been less than encouraging. The principal impediment to proper planning of logging operations, training and supervision of forest workers, and the...

Who pays for and who benefits from improved timber harvesting practices in the tropics?: lessons learned and information gaps
This paper highlights how early experience gained in north Queensland rainforests provided input to the development of Pacific island codes and the code of conduct for logging of indigenous forests in selected South Pacific countries in the mid-1990s. In a number of these countries, the developme...

Applying reduced impact logging to advance sustainable forest management: international conference proceedings 26 February to 1 March 2001, Kuching, Malaysia
Under the Kyoto Protocol industrialized countries will be able to meet carbon emission reduction commitments by financing forestry projects that sequester carbon in developing countries. While this mechanism would compensate for missing markets in forest environmental services, it could also enab...
