  • In India, forest based insect enterprises has never been linked up with any forest management activity, either as a forest conservation strategy or to reduce the poverty in forested area. This investigation indicated that when forest dependent people are associated with forest insect industry (FII) like forest sericulture, lac culture or apiculture; this income generating activity links livelihood with forest conservation, and generates a viable model of collaborative forest management (CFM). In this model different stakeholders work together as a coherent entity for unified goal of managing the forest for well-being of the poor people in fringe areas. Article summaries and evaluates the prospect of India specific forest insect industry, and discusses how and to what extent integration of FII could be a viable livelihood component in CFM to conserve the forest and insect biodiversity. We analysed a case study on forestbased rearing of tropical tasar silkworm rearing in Central India from CFM perspective. Arguments in this communication are intended to provide forest managers and policy-makers with necessary input to consider location specific FII in CFM mode to provide a continuous source of small income to forest dependent people to ensure long lasting success of their forest management endeavours.

  • The purpose of this study was to provide necessary requirements on accreditation for forest culture and recreational interpretive programs in order to set up the enforcement regulations of the Forest Culture and Recreation Act. The intention of this study was to contribute to raising the qualitative standards of forest interpreters through the adoption of accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreational education programs, to establish detailed standards regarding the accreditation of forest interpreter training courses, and to provide materials and resources useful in creating forestry policies regarding forest interpreters and forest culture and recreation. This study examined five topics: 1) To establish conceptual understanding of the accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreation interpretive programs, 2) To understanding the present status of training programs and courses related to accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreation interpretive programs, and examining the status of current forest interpreter training courses, 3) To propose an operational scheme for accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreation programs, and develop the goal of an operation of the accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreation programs, 4) To propose an operational scheme for accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreational education programs, and the operational scheme for forest interpreter training courses, and 5) To establishing a commission to evaluate the accreditation procedures for forest culture and recreation programs and operating guidelines.

  • This study was carried out to examine the perceptions of consumers and forest product manufacturers in South Korea about forest certification and to identify their willingness-to-pay for certified products by personal interviews. Sixteen percent of interviewees knew and heard about forest certification. However, fifty-six percent of interviewees had an intention to participate in forest certification system. The consumers' group can be described in relative terms as the male of 30 age bracket. The average price premium charged to consumers was higher than one paid to manufacturers, and thus manufacturers are willing to include the additional costs for certified products.

  • Forest roads are essential for forest resource management. This study investigated and compared forest road and road policy data in Korea and the United States to improve future forest road policies in Korea. As compared to the United States (9.5 m/ha), Korea has much lower forest road density (3.19 m/ha) and has been actively constructing new forest roads. The Korea Forest Service leads forest road policy in Korea by providing subsidies for new road construction in non-national forests. The budget for forest roads accounted for 9.1% of the total Korea Forest Service budget in 2010 - 2015 and 73.5% of it was used for new road construction. Korean forest road policies have been distinctively changed over the past decades; e.g., an increase in forest road mileage in the 1990s, an increase in forest road standards in the 2000s, and an increase in the mileage of higher standard roads in the 2010s. In comparison to Korea, the United States has focused on road maintenance and road decommissioning since 2001. The budget for forest roads accounted for 2.9% of the total USDA Forest Service budget in 2011 - 2016 and 82.2% of it was used for operations and maintenance. Our study results suggest that forest road policies in Korea should start focusing on road maintenance and decommissioning, if needed.
