Technical support Organogram: Legal process related with the ZIF constitution (blue) Elaboration and approval of the ZIF plans (orange) Implementation of the plans (orange) Training / awareness raising: Yes, through information sessions and individual contacts with opinion leaders. Advisory service: Information sessions with the following key elements: 1. About ZIF process; 2. Explaining rational of ZIF for specific municipality and its conditions like depopulation, forest fires, etc.; 3. Elaboration of the ZIF plans. The extension system is well set up to ensure follow-up activities. Research: Topics on forestry, politics, sociology, economics / marketing, ecology. Mostly on station and on-farm research. External material support / subsidies Contribution per area (state/private sector): Yes, through FFP (Permanent Forest Fund) and QREN (National Strategic Reference Framework). Labour: Voluntary: landowners can work on their properties or can be substituted by the ZIF management entity. Some activities, such as the implementation of the Primary Strips Network System for Fuel Management can be supported by the municipality services. Input: Equipment (machinery, tools, etc.), printer, toners, map production (fully financed) Credit: Not available Support to local institutions: Yes. City council supports the forest association activities. Monitoring and evaluation Monitored aspects Methods and indicators The monitoring procedures are not structured yet SLM Approach: Forest Intervention Area (ZIF), Portugal DESIRE – WOCAT 2012 215
Impacts of the Approach Improved sustainable land management: Yes, to a considerable degree. Reduction of the number and likelihood of forest fires. Adoption by other land users / projects: Yes, many instances. The initial social resistance to the approach will diminish through the existence of a successful ZIF. Improved livelihoods / human well-being: Yes, moderate. Improved situation of disadvantaged groups: Yes, moderate; It is expected that the increase in land productivity through the implemented technologies will help to improve the socio-economic situation of these rural groups. Poverty alleviation: Yes, moderate. It is expected that the implementation of this approach will contribute to the improvement of rural socio-economic conditions through productivity increase, creation of employment and promotion of local products. Training, advisory service and research: Training effectiveness SLM specialists - good Advisory service effectiveness Land users - good (Information sessions; Dissemination) Land/water use rights: Private ownership greatly hinders the implementation of the approach, but the approach greatly reduces the land/water use rights problem. Long-term impact of subsidies: Great positive long-term impacts Main motivation of land users to implement: Rules and regulations (fines) / enforcement, affiliation to movement / project / group / networks, aesthetic, forest fires Sustainability of activities: No, the forest owners do not have the financial capacity to apply and support these activities by themselves. Concluding statements Strengths and how to sustain/improve Weaknesses and how to overcome Improve forest management promotion of the planting of more fire-resilient species which are better adapted to the local conditions. AFN should: (i) provide information about the guidelines; (ii) develop new policies and tools, which are more suitable to the local level; (iii) support and implement public awareness campaigns about forest values and services, and (iv) provide financial support to ZIF constitution and implementation activities. Increase productivity present land tenure and structure of forest holdings constitute a bottleneck for forest productivity. The integrated management of the ZIF will allow a better management and use of the land, increasing the exploitation of timber and nontimber products and also increasing the resilience to wildfires. Restoration of burnt areas The use of forest species to enable the protection and recovery of degraded soils or soils with high erosion risk has a very positive influence on the rehabilitation of burnt areas. However, many of these species are not economically attractive at short or medium term. The management of the land using ZIF model will allow the definition of the most affected areas for an urgent intervention. Prevention of forest fires the increase of forest management will contribute to the decrease of large forest fires. The implementation of integrated and global measures to fire prevention will be suitable within the ZIF approach. Social conscience through awareness campaigns and information sessions provided at national and local level. Costs related to the approach major financial support from the government needs to be provided. Rather complex process: unclear role for the non-adherent landowners within the ZIF; ZIF has to follow many laws and plans; control and monitoring activities still not defined clarification and simplification of the bureaucratic process of the ZIF. Highly bureaucratic nature of the ZIF approach simplification of the bureaucratic process. Unattractive investment (low public support and lack of private support) the need to review and reform the existing QREN or provide others means of support. Incentives to private initiative or donors should be found. Key reference(s): Decree- Law 127/2005, 5 August. Official Gazette n. 150 - I series A.: 4521-4527; Decree-Law 15/2009, 14 January.
