ensure that viable, participatory,
and locally-managed system for
conservation, management, and
sustainable use of forest
resources and associated
biodiversity are developed and
adopted to promote sustainable
development and management of
forest resources and protect the
natural environment. Provide
models for wider replication under
the government's Natural Forest
Protection Program (NFPP).
The global objective is to foster
improved conservation and
sustainable management of
biodiversity in remaining natural
forest areas by ensuring effective
in situ protection of threatened
and globally important forest
habitats and rare and endemic
species.
enhance biodiversity conservation
through innovative approaches to
organization, planning, skills
development, information
management, and the integration of
local communities into reserve
management; focus on developing
skills, human resources, and systems
for improving protection and
management at the field level; Key
activities include: (a) preparation and
implementation of new management
plans; (b) strengthening of field-level
protection through financing of guard
posts, new communications systems,
field kits and other miscellaneous
equipment: and (c) expanding the role
of local communities in and adjacent
to nature reserve sites in the planning
and management of reserves.
enhance productivity of forest resources,
efficiency of resource use, and institutional
capacity for sustainable management in the
three major forest types in China: commercial
plantations, watershed protection forests, and
nature reserves. Expand the supply of
commercial timber and pulpwood through
establishment of 620,000 ha of intensively
managed plantations; (b) develop improved
models for watershed management through
establishment of 280,000 hectares of
protection forests; (c) enhance biodiversity
conservation through improved management
of nature reserves and natural forests; (d)
strengthen the operating efficiency of
technical support services in the forestry
sector, particularly planting materials,
research, and extension programs; and (e)
strengthen the capacity of forest sector
institutions in planning and management.
Objectives 1) expand forest resources and reduce
the gap between timber production and
consumption; 2) improve quality of
forest plantations through use of
superior planting stock; 3) introduce
financial and economic analysis for
forestry investment; 4) strengthen
research and extension programs that
support plantation forestry; 5) initiate an
accelerated tree breeding program that
increases productivity of planting stock
within 2 to 3 years; and 6) create the
organizational and managerial
infrastructure to plan, appraise, finance,
implement, and evaluate plantation
programs.
