Transcript of APFW 2016 Stream 3 - Serving Society: Forestry and People
Stream 3Serving Society:
Forestry and People
We must allow people-centered forestry to deliver the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
Recognize and empower key forestry stakeholders
Forest people
You have heard many voices – from NGOs,
academia and government
The most important voices are directly from the
forests
Please allow my community,
my family, and I to use our knowledge ...to protect the forest...to benefit from the
forest
I am helping my community
to adapt to climate change,
and ensuring my community manages
our forest in a sustainable way
But... there are many things that limit our
chances to benefit from the forest...
...and we need more incentives
to take care of the forest
The forests are so important for us all,
It is our homeIt is our life
Listen to us, we know the forests the best,
we depend on the forest the most...
For our society, for my family and for me,
listen to the voices of local communities
Recommendation:Strengthen
local rights and, enable and invest in local
institutions and capacities
