Introduction

As proposed in document CRF (X>;I)/28 in relation to FFD 8193 (F), twoconsultants have been recruited by the Trio Secretariat, Under SpecialAgreements for consultants 11"to"to Pill@-Loper@ (SSA No. (F) F, 00/03) fromColombia and I'm oldEgli (SSA No. (F) F. 00/04) from Switzerland where hiredto explore ways to advance development of the above mentioned Pre-projectunder the specific work assignment of:

. Review background material on ITTO Demonstration Forests and relatedITTO work;

. Review similar initiatives in other countries and the International Model

Forest Network;. Prepare and dispatch a questionnaire to all countries proposing

Demonstration Forests;. Compile and evaluate the answers received from the countries;. Visit at least two representative demonstration forests in the regions of:

Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific;. Prepare a consolidated report to the ITTO summarizing the findings and

recommend how ITTO could proceed with the Demonstration ForestInitiative.

2. Analysis of FFD 8193 (F)

2.1. Basic background information'

Pursuant to the decision of the IV" Session of the ITTC held in Abidjan in May1989 to prepare activities for prior implementation in various areas or concern,the Penmanent Committee on Reforestation and Forest Management' adoptedthe "Draft Action Plan in the Field of Reforestation and Forest Management".The Draft Action Plan is contained in document PCF (IV)/2. Various activitieshave been implemented and guidelines, criteria and indicators for sustainablemanagement have been adopted.The fomier PCF included in its Work Program an activity aimed "to developdemonstrotio?z models of incl, ragement/br the sustainczble prodt!ctio}I of timbergrid '70/2-timber prodticts ond conservation". The objective was double: first, toestablish a network of demonstration areas to be used by member countries inthe transfer of knowledge, and secondly, to promote sustainable forestmanagement.During its ><11'' meeting held in May 1993 in Kuala Lumpur, the PermanentCommittee on Reforestation and Forest Management reviewed the progress ofthe activity and agreed that an informal working group should discuss andrecommend measures to focilitate and expedite the implementation of theactivities to identify suitable demonstration areas and to recommend appropriatefollow actions.

The Committee felt that in the light of various actions taken since 1990 it waspossible to provide more clarity to member countries about objectives of theactivity to identify suitable demonstration areas.

A pre-proj ect was prepared, presented and approved by the corresponding ><IVITTC Session (Kuala Lumpur, May 1993). This Pre-project is FFD 8193 (F)"Demonstrcztio?I orecz(S,)/by sustainable MCInczgemei2t of Production Forests". Alist of criteria describing desired characteristics for demonstration areas wasadded as appendix A to the Pre-project proposal. The overall budget was fixed atUs$ I 10'000.

The Environment Committee of The Japan Lumber Importer's Association(JLIA) agreed to finance the Pre-project in a letter to the ITTO ExecutiveDirector dated June 28,1993.

The general objectives of PPD 8193 (F) were established as follows:. To create awareness of the actual level performance in achieving

sustainable management of tropical production forests. To stimulate activities directed at improving the quality of management of

production forests.C>

After the Council's Session an enquiry was prepared and sent to all ITTOproducer countries in September 1993. Answers, however, returned ratherslowly. Additional activities were needed to assist producer countries to indicateforest areas for demonstration areas for sustainable management of productionforests. Finally, 18 candidate areas in 16 producer countries have been designeduntil the end of 1996 (PCF(XV1)/21 plus additional areas identified between1995 and 1996). Some other few countries answered not to be ready to managedemonstration areas for sustainable management of production forests.

In spite that the Secretariat made some efforts for having staff or regionalconsultants visiting candidate areas in some countries (Indonesia and Peru, forexample), the overall process went stack by lack of commitment of countries.

Summarising the status of the consultation process up to now, it is possible tostate at least that: (a) It was apparently difficult to get or establish demonstrationareas as such, corresponding to the demanded criteria. (b) Not all the countrieswere well conscious of the desired issues contained in PPD 8193 (F), (c)Consequently, the implementation of the Pre-project lost dynamic. (d) The CRFobserved this situation in several occasions during its succeeding sessions, (e)There is not official knowledge about the actual situation of candidate areas andimportant changes may have occurred within countries or forests areas affectingintended objectives of the Pre-project. (f) Obviously, a new effort is necessary tobring forward and to complete PPD 8193 (F).

2.2 Working approach

2.2. I Methodology

After reviewing the available infonnation dealing with the Pre-project's mainissues, a rapid analysis of the actual situation of it was done. This was especiallyhelpful to better understand the actual situation of the Pre-project as well as toprepare the following steps to be undertaken. To do so, the SWOT-tool wasused. Under time constrains this analysing tool allows mainly two things. First,an observer looking back in time can analyse ^. trengths and Weaknessespertinent to a given situation or proposed goal. had secondly, starting from theanalysis of the past, the observer looking forward and keeping in mind proposedgoals can search for the Qpportunities and expected 111hreats to better prepare theactions to be undertaken. The ideas obtained from such an analysis made byboth consultants are presented in table I, Items are arranged in the table incolumns with no hierarchic order.(1)

2.2.2. Results

In table I , the analysis shows to the reader that there are strong strengths andmany opportunities to continue with PPD 8193 (F) and to complete it mainly aswas foreseen by its original authors and under latter recommendations adoptedby CT<IF. The goals of the pre-project are of great actuality. They are included inthe Y2000 Objective, the ITTA 1994 and in the Libreville Action Plan. Worldwide Criteria and Indicators processes allowed ITTO to revise its guidelines andto present them in up-dated manuals which are closely related and useful toolsfor the intended establishment of demonstration areas. Newly launched local andinternational initiatives for model forest network are growing rapidly. Publicawareness about Sustainable Forest Management is still growing around theworld and certification initiatives have some connection with demonstration

areas intended objectives. In short, general conditions have probably never beenso appropriate to continue and develop the original ideas of FFD 8193 (F).

On the other hand, the reader may give attention to the severe reasons why thePre-project started rather slowly. A rather weak Pre-project design, the manydifficulties to build consensus upon the project's implementation and theexpected results may be some of the reasons. Perhaps those are even not themost important ones but it is a matter of fact that the nomination ofdemonstration areas needed a lot of time and additional support and efforts fromITTO. Looking to the many threats the reader may acknowledge that ITTOmembers need to develop a very strong commitment to support the idea ofSustainable Forest Management through networking on model forests and toovercome the many expected and unexpected difficulties on the way to go.

2.3.

The most important lessons learnt from the analysis done could be summarize asfollows:

Lessons learnt

. For the past few years, a strong movement promoting Sustainable ForestManagement involving more and more organisations and institutions hasrapidly grown throughout the world.

. Issues like Criteria & Indicators and certification which have been

established in many different organisations during the last years areclosely related to model forests or to demonstration areas for SustainableForest Management.

. Understandings concerning "model forests" and "demonstration areas"may differ considerably and if so, there is a need for further clarification.

. There are a number of very valuable reasons for ITTO to stay involvedwith Demonstration Areas for the Sustainable Management of ProductionForests as much active as possible.

. With its specific focus on timber production in the tropical areas, ITFOhas comparative advantages to participate in networking on tropicalmodel forests.

. ITTO have made considerable in-house progress and have given itselfrules on how to face Sustainable Forest Management (ITTA, LAP, policydocuments and manuals, etc. ).

. ITTO's policy framework has become more appropriate for networking.

. ITTO has got first-hand world wide networking experience whileparticipating in, among others, the Inter-Governmental Panel on Forestsand the International Forum for Forest, both under the auspices of the UNCommission for Sustainable Development.

For many reasons, the consultation process, like it has proceeded within the Pre-project until date, has produced rather mitigated results. It is probably moreadvantageous not to retake the process entirely the same way. It might be moreappropriate to reopen the consultation on a larger basis bringing an opportunityfor all ITTO member countries to become involved in a joint effort to developthe networking initiatives on model forests (demonstration areas) as a mean toachieve Sustainable Forest Management and the Organization's main objectives.

To plan and implement a set of activities related with the last one idea needaccurate structure. We, as consultants think that in order to attain this structure,the ongoing initiative of PPD 8193 (F) could be finished with a last consultativeexercise aimed to the forrnulation of a project proposal that could reflectexpectations and capacities of member countries on the matter.

2.4 Proposals on how to continue Pre-project implementation andpursued goals

Considering the above analysis, results and lessons learnt, the undersignedconsultants concluded that a slight re-thinking of the initiative could help ITTOto pursue in the goals contained in PPD 8193 (F) and to foster implementation ofdemonstration areas.

Basically, there are four main aspects to be considered:. The first one is related with the many "opportunities" InO have for

participating in demonstration area efforts in the tropics in the future as it isshown in table I .

. The second aspect refers to the rapidly growing model forest initiatives andinternational networking for sustainable forest management and to theparticular convenience for ITTO to become involved. We feel that it may beimportant for InO to compose with existing network (s) rather than tocreate its own network, Existing network would encourage ITTO members toengage in Sustainable Forest Management, to intensify information eXchangeand to strengthen training issues. Networking for SFM may also help tostrengthen cooperation between consumer and producer countries.

. The third aspect is related with the convenience of conceiving demonstrationareas as a process where ITTO producer's countries could nominate areas tobe transformed in the short, inid or long term into demonstration areas (ormodel forest if so decided) instead of trying to find out if there are any areasthat fillfil the requirements already formulated in 1993 .

. The fourth aspect relates to the desire of CRF to prepare a fully developedproject proposal that could help ITTO member countries to achieve previousstated goals and filml ITTA, LAP and Year 2000 Objectives through modelforest or demonstration area initiatives (see CRF (X>Q)/28).

While preparing the final phase of the FFD 8193 (F), we would like to focus ouractivities on the following four issues. Table 2 shows step by step how we thinkour activities on PPD 8193 (F) should be advanced until completion of Pre-project by May 2001.

a) To introduce in the final phase an operational level consultation. A newquestionnaire has been prepared and submitted for consideration. It hasbeen added by a package of background information. It would be send toall ITTO member countries, especially producer countries. The answerswhich are expected until the end of October will help to find out whatITTO member countries think about networking for the sake ofSustainable Forest Management, which ones are their expectations fromnetworking in model forest and what could be their possible support andengagement in the already existing networks on model forest.

.

(,

*

b) How ITTO can give itself the means to support members to j oin activelyexisting networks on model forests or demonstration areas for sustainableforest management.

c) To have a better guarantee that InO moves forward to model forestnetworking and implementation, a project should probably be formulated.We propose to draft a project proposal and to present it to the next CRF inNovember 2000. If approved by the CRF a final project proposal wouldbe prepared and introduced into the ITTO's project cycle aiming it beingapproved by the Expert Panfsl scheduled for February 2001 and by theCRF meeting scheduled for May 2001 in Abidjan.

d) In addition to the last consultation process proposed and in order to beable to design a most realistic project proposal, visiting potentialdemonstration areas and actual model forest areas. We propose visits ascontained in table 3. Areas previously visited under PPD 8193 (F) werenot included and those visits' results should be additional and included in

the final report of the consultants..

Draft letter proposed to the Secretary for the last consultation process

Subject: Demonstration Areas for Sustainable Management of ProductionForests FFD 8193 (F) (Global)

ITTO's initiative on Demonstration Areas for Sustainable Management ofProduction Forests started with the approval of PPD 8193 (F) during the >^ltI''Session of the International Tropical Timber Council in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysi^ (11-19 May 1993) and its funding by the Japan Lumber Importer'sAssociation in June the same year. Despite efforts towards the implementationof this pre-project by some Member countries and by the Secretariat, its maingoals still need to be achieved..

Concerns about this important initiative were raised during the last ITTC(XXVlll) Session held in Lima, Peru. In addition, the Committee onReforestation & Forest Management had, on previous occasions, discussed andapproved relevant changes to PPD 8193 (F). Meanwhile, the Secretariat andmembers of the Committee took note of the progress of many other initiativesrelated to sustainable forest management world wide. Considering that many ofthese initiatives are closely related to the main objectives of PPD 8193 (F), asmall ad hoc working group, comprising the delegates of Bolivia, C6te d'Ivoire,Japan, Malaysia as well as a member of the ITTO Secretariat, met during theTwenty-first Session of the ITTC, which was held in Yokohama in 1996. In itsconclusion, the working group confirmed both the importance of continuing thepre-project and its main goals. In addition, it recommended that activities shouldbe strengthened and followed-up by a project proposal.

To achieve the timely and satisfactory implementation of FFD 8193 (F), I havethe pleasure in enclosing a questionnaire (Appendix A). This questionnaire isdesigned to elicit the views of members on demonstration forests and ITTO'srole in facilitating their development. It will also serve as a survey of existingdemonstration forests in producer member countries.

I would be most grateful if you would complete it and return it to our office.The following four aspects may guide your reflections:

.

The questionnaire is part of efforts to facilitate consultation between ITTOmember countries on the development and establishment of DemonstrationAreas for Sustainable Management of Production Forests. It will allow thosecountries that have proposed areas in the previous consultation between 1993

16

,

"

and 1996 to update their information, while countries that did not participate inthe previous consultation and therefore have not yet designated demonstrationareas would have the opportunity to do so.

Since the pre-project was launched, other model forest networks have beencreated. It may be useful for ITTO and its members to establish partnershipswith such networks, particularly the International Model Forest Network.

The meaning of the term 'Demonstration Areas' may be understood in differentways. ITTO members may wish to consider them as part of a networkingprocess. Those producing member countries that feel ready to participate couldjoin existing network(s) with their already nominated areas, while others couldparticipate by the nomination of areas to be transformed in the short, inId or longterm into Demonstration Areas for Sustainable Management of ProductionForests.

.The questionnaire will assist the completion of PPD 8193 (F). To continueITTO's efforts in this area, a final output will be a new project proposal for thedevelopment of a network of Demonstration Areas of Sustainable ManagedProduction Forests. This will assist ITTO member countries in achieving theobjectives of the International Tropical Timber Agreement, the priority actionsin the Libreville Action Plan and the Year 2000 Objective, while becomingpartners in regional and international model forest network(s).

I am pleased to invite each ITTO Member country to give full consideration tothe above-mentioned issues when completing the questionnaire. In order to helpthis, please find enclosed the following documents:

Proposed main criteria for the selection of DemonstrationAreas for Sustainable Management of Production Forests

I. The proposed Demonstratibn Area for Sustainable Management of Production Forests should bea natural tropical forest with a relatively high level of management performance according theLibreville Action Plan and the newly revised ITFO's guidelines, criteria and indicators. The areashould have at minimum:

. A Forest management plan with clearly stated objectives

. A Inventory of timber, soil and water resources

. Maps delineating major forests types along with other important geographical features such asroads, soils, water courses and topography

2. The proposed Demonstration Area for Sustainable Management of Production Forests should beactively harvested, Cutting levels should be sufficiently detailed in the forest management plan,with provisions to ensure the sustainability of flow of timber from the forest. Harvest activitiesshould consider at least

. Environmental impact

. Reduced impact logging

. Harvest activities should be adequately supervised

3. The proposed Demonstratibn Area for Sustainable Management of Production Forests should besufficiently large to be managed on a sustained yield basis and able to support integratedmanagement of the resources, such as a forest reserve

4. The proposed Demonstratibn Area for Sustainable Management of Productibn Forests should belegally and practically secured with marked boundaries.

5. Communities living adjacent to or within the Demonstratibn Area for Sustainable Management ofProduction Forests should be involved in the management and protection of the DemonstrationArea for Sustainable Management of Production Forests. Provisions should be made for theprotection of the Demonstration Area for Sustalhable Management of Production Forests against. Illegal cutting. Fire

. Encroachment

.

.

6. Records of past management activities in the proposed Demonstration Area for SustainableManagement of Production Forests should be available at least for the recent past.

7. Reliable data on the proposed Demonstratibn Area for Sustainable Management of ProductionForests should be available concerning. Outstanding features of biological diversity.. Socio-economic aspects of communities living adjacent to or within the forest.. Prospects of processing and utilisation of both timber and nori-timber products.. Condition of growing stock, including growth data on major species,

8. Proposed Demonstration Area for Sustainable Management of Production Forests should berepresentative of the country's major forest resources and corresponding social conditions.

9. The proposed Demonstration Area for Sustainable Management of Productibn Forests must beaccessible and suitable for training, education and research activities

Terms of Reference for the Implementationof PCF Activity Concerning

Tile: Demonstration Area(S) for Sustainable Management of Production Forests.I. Preamble

.Pursuant to the decision of the Sixth Session of the Inc in Abidjan in May 1989 toprepare activities for priority implementation in various areas of concern, the PermanentCommittee on Reforestation and Forest Management (PCF) adopted the "Draft ActionPlan in the Field of Reforestation and Forest Management" contained in Document PCF(IV)2. Variuos activities have been implemented and guidelines, criteria and indicatorsfor sustainable management have been adopted.

The PCF included in its Program of Work an activity which aims to "DevelopDemonstration Models of Management for the Sustainable Production of Timber andNon-timber Products and Conservation". The objective is to establish a network ofdemonstration areas which can be used by Member Countries in the transfer ofknowledge, and for promoting sustainable forest management. Member Countries werealso requested to identify areas of successful forest management on whichdemonstration sites can be established. Only four countries had responded by the endof I 991.

APPENDIX N

,

<->

The Twelfth Session of the PCF reviewed the progress of the activity and agreed that aninformal working group should discuss and recommend measures to facilitate andexpedite the implementation of the activities to identify suitable demonstration areas andto recommend appropriate follow up actions.

The Committee feels that in the light of various action that have been taken since 1990 itis now possible to provide more clarity to Member countries about objectives of theactivity to identify suitable demonstration areas.

2. General Objectives

To create awareness of the actual level of performance in achieving sustainablemanagement of tropical production forests.

To stimulate activities directed at improving the quality of management of production forests.

3. Specific Objectives of Demonstration Areas

To show what level of performance is already achieved in real practice at an operationalscale.

To set an example for operations that do not perform at the same quality level.

To provide an opportunity to analyze the conditions which have lead to the presentperformance level, and based on that to advise other operators on regulations andmanagement practices to improve their performance.

To provide insight into the conditions and operations that should and could be changedto improve the level of compliance with ITFO sustainability criteria and indicators.

To strengthen the capacity and capability of professional, technical and operational staff.

4. Immediate objective of the proposed activities

To identify at the national level area(s) for demonstration for sustainable forest managementof production forests.

5. Proposed Activities

The secretariat invites the producing countries to identify an operationaltimber production area(s) that may serve as demonstration area(s).

The secretariat provides a checklist (see Annex I ) to help the countries toidentify demonstration area(s).

The secretariat will assist countries to identify and verify suitabledemonstration areas where necessary and desirable.

The secretariat establishes a list of suggested demonstration areas, andstimulates eXchange of information and visits at the national and regional levels.

6. Follow up Activities

The secretariat may invite the country that has applied to propose projects to fun the actualdemonstration related activities, being:

To analyze the conditions which have lead to the present performance level ofthe demonstration.

To analyze what conditions and operations should and could be changed toimprove the level of compliance with InO sustainability criteria and indicators andthe InO guidelines.
