Furthermore, the article also discusses how legislation in the United States has reduced the extent of deforestation in the country. Despite these attempts at reducing the economic impact on the forests, the article provides some extensive and alarming statistics about the numbers and types of trees that have been eradicated in America alone.
This study goes on to discuss various solutions to the present impasse between the environmental groups who oppose logging and unmanaged economic activity and the wood and logging industry. This, state the authors, would involve a compromise between these two groups. The author suggests that on the one hand the environmentalists have to realize that they cannot oppose all logging activity and the lumber industry has to become more conscious of the issue of sustainability and forest management.
The last article in this literary review is an important publication by the World Wildlife Fund entitled, Integrating Forest Protection, and Management and Restoration at a Landscape Scale (2004). This paper attempts to show that "... The forest targets - on protection, management and restoration - can be combined into a coherent programme and delivered at a landscape scale in a priority ecoregion" (Aldrich et al. 2004). In essence what the paper attempts to show is that the elements of forest management and forest landscape restoration can be integrated into a coherent management plan. A central point of this study is that the restoration and management of forests can only be achieved when the other concomitant factors are also taken into account; such as poverty alleviation, human well-being and various legitimate forms of social and economic development. (Aldrich et al. 2004). In other words, as the authors state,
Conservation does not take place divorced from issues relating to human well-being, and those involved in conservation are usually also concerned about social justice and sustainable development. The approach therefore also considers where these different but overlapping interests can best be integrated into a multifunctional landscape. (Aldrich et al. 2004).
This point-of-view relates to the central thesis of this paper, in that it stresses that the restoration and management of forests must also take into account related issues and this often necessitates compromise and negotiation. The paper goes on to discuss the various theoretical and practical steps that are needed to integrate these three main aspects into a coherent and workable management strategy. This is intended to facilitate a balanced combination of protection, management and restoration which will provide not only ecological but also social benefits as well.
This integrative framework is based on a number of central assumptions.
These are the following. Synergy: "An integrated approach to protection, management and restoration will give greater net benefits than those achieved by pursuing these aims separately" (Aldrich et al. 2004). This is an important aspect as it means that a more comprehensive approach to forest management would integrate and include the interests of all stakeholders and parties concerned and therefore make any management program more acceptable and functional in the long-term. This leads to the second assumption, which is that that this integrative strategy will of necessity result in a number of compromises or 'trade-offs'. This means that the various needs of those affected from both an ecological, economic and social point-of-view will have to be taken into account.
This in turn will result in the third central aspect, which is better cost effectiveness. "Integrating programmes of protection, management and restoration will allow more efficient use of available financial and staff resources"...
