호주 산림경영계획서의 지속성에 대한 고찰 (몬트리올 프로세스를 기반으로)

소개

지속가능한 산림경영을 위하여 많은 나라들이 산림경영계획서에 큰 투자를 아끼지 않고 있습니다. 작은 지방 정부들마저도 이러한 계획서를 제출하는 호주에서 한 산림경영계획서를 선정하여 지속가능성에 대한 고찰을 리포트로 작성하였습니다. 호주의 다양한 제도, 법 그리고 논문들을 세세하게 살펴본 후 이에 대하여 경영계획서가 얼마만큼 반영을 하고 있는지에 관한 리포트 입니다. 모든 내용은 영어로 되어 있습니다. 참고하세요

Introduction
Over the last few decades, forests and their management have been considered increasingly important factor in public policy, especially in terms of sustainable development (Hickey and Innes 2005). United Nations Forum on Forests (http://www.un.org/esa/forests/faq.html#sfm) described definition of sustainable forest management as:
“A universally agreed upon definition for Sustainable Forest Management does not exist. However, for the purposes of several regional and global processes, the following working definition of sustainable forest management is the stewardship and use of forests and forest lands in a way, and at a rate, that maintains their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity, vitality and their potential to fulfill, now and in the future, relevant ecological, economic and social functions, at local, national, and global levels, and that does not cause damage to other ecosystems.” In other words, maintaining function and capacity of forest with different time and scale can be defined as sustainable forest management.
A previous literature review based on the Montreal Process about the Great Otway National Park and Otway Forest Park Management Plan has shown a number of directions what to review specifically on critical review for sustainable management. Finding out an answer of a question about what is the sustainable way of the forest management, revealed that half of the indicators from Australia’s indicators are missing or poorly indicated on the management plan. This process showed what deficiencies exist on the management plan.
