tion measures and planting tree species from their own economIC interests,
some choices do not meet the double-filters of FLR, for example, Acacia mangium
was g<strong>en</strong>erally agreed as the best windbreak species, but field survey
found that most of Acacia mangium trees which have be<strong>en</strong> planted along the
ridge of hills were break down by typhoon. So conflicts betwe<strong>en</strong> differ<strong>en</strong>t restoration
measures should be coordinated timely to find the compromise betwe<strong>en</strong>
economic and ecological b<strong>en</strong>efits.

10.2.6 Skills for PRA tools application
Not all the tools and methods of PRA will be used during the developm<strong>en</strong>t of
FLR plan at community level. PRA methodscan be <strong>en</strong>riched and developed
according to local conditions. The following items need to be giv<strong>en</strong> att<strong>en</strong>tion
