The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol raised the hopes of many, that payment for carbon sequestration services would provide a significant incentive for sustainable management practices in industrial forestry in tropical countries. Data to assess how realistic these hopes ar...


Smith, J.Applegate, G.[Trading forest carbon to promote the adoption of reduced impact logging]Trading forest carbon to promote the adoption of reduced impact logging
Autor: Smith, J.

The social and environmental implications of plantations in the CDM are analysed under a hypothetical laissez faire approach and a proactive approach to sustainable development (SD), bounded by existing COP7 agreements and efficency and equity considerations. Implications for timber rich, timber ...

This paper discusses the socioeconomic, policy and ecological opportunities and constraints to the regeneration and management of secondary forests (SF) on small scale colonist farms in three Latin American countries. So far there has been little recognition of SF as a forest resource. Survey dat...

The authors studied the Noel Kempff Mercado Climate Action Project (NKMCAP), Bolivia, to assess whether forest protection carbon (C) projects can significantly benefit local people. They hypothesized that forest protection can only securely deliver C if significant stakeholders are meaningfully a...

Although policies to improve forest management have been widely introduced, poor logging practices remain prevalent in tropical forests. We assess whether recent radical changes in forestry laws in Peru will result in significant improvements in logging practices. We adapt North's conceptual fram...

This background paper summaries the issues raised by the Kyoto Protocol as background information for discussion aimed at assessing whether joint implementation (JI) and the clean development mechanism (CDM) are opportunities for forest sustainable management through carbon sequestration projects...

The proposed Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol paves the way for financial and technological transfers to support forestry projects that sequester carbon or protect carbon stocks. This paper examines the implications of CDM for forest conservation and sustainable use by draw...

While slash-and burn farmers convert forest to agriculture, they also regenerate significant areas of secondary fallow forests on their farms. Under what conditions does secondary forest cover persist on slash-and-burn farms?. Survey data from Para, Brazil show that secondary forests accupy 20% o...
