New publications in the FAO Non-Wood Forest Products series No. 15. Non-wood forest products from temperate broad-leaved trees Temperate broad-leaved trees grow in very different ecosystems in the northern and southern hemispheres, but are also extensively found in many tropical and subtropical mountain areas. A wide range of non-wood products are derived from temperate broad-leaved trees, and their description is organized in this volume according to the part of the tree from which they are obtained (whole tree, foliage, flowers, etc.). This information is presented in order to raise awareness of, and assist in identifying, opportunities for the management and production of non-wood products from temperate broad-leaved trees. The intended audience of this publication ranges from interest groups in the forest, agriculture and rural development sectors to conservation agencies in developed and developing countries. For more information, please contact Paul Vantomme, FAO NWFP Programme.

Documentation of unpublished literature/reports on non-timber forest products (1989-2001)

Compiled by Dr Ram Prasad, IFS, Director, Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) and Dr Manish Mishra. 2001.

This document provides the use and development of products other than wood derived from forests and forest lands, in the overall context of multiple use forestry for sustainable forest management. It presents a wide range of examples of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in terms of their use and potential as sources of self-sufficient and sustained livelihoods for low-income rural communities, their commercial and industrial applications and their value in local or distant marketplaces. In addition, this report gives various examples of the management and use of NTFPs. The fact that this document deals with NTFPs separately from timber products is simply because of the specific complexity and neglected importance of this category of forest products. The document builds mainly on experiences from the dry zone tropical forests of India, but it will be of relevance and use to all regions and all products.

Two new books on biodiversity The commercial use of biodiversity: access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing By Kerry ten Kate and Sarah A. Laird. The authors explain the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity on access and benefit-sharing, the effect of national laws to implement these, and aspects of typical contracts for the transfer of materials. They provide a unique sector-by-sector analysis of how genetic resources are used, the scientific, technological and regulatory trends and the different markets in pharmaceuticals, botanical medicines, crop development, horticulture, crop protection, biotechnology and personal care and cosmetics products. (For more information, please see:www.earthscan.co.uk/asp/bookdetails.asp?key= 3839</A>) Biodiversity and traditional knowledge: equitable partnerships in practice Edited by Sarah A. Laird. This book offers practical guidance on how to arrive at equitable biodiversity research and prospecting partnerships. It draws upon experiences and lessons learned from around the world to provide case studies, analysis and recommendations in a range of areas that together form a new framework for creating equity in these partnerships.

Who owns the world's forests?

Who owns the world's forests? Forest tenure and public forests in transition. Forest trends. By Andy White and Alejandra Martin. 2002. Washington, DC, USA. ISBN 0-9713606-2-6.

The report pulls together data from 24 of the 30 countries with the most forest. Together those 24 countries account for 93 percent of the world's forests.

Globally, governments claim to own and administer 77 percent of all forests. This includes large areas of forest that local communities manage without official recognition. Communities and indigenous people formally own 7 percent of the forests and officially administer an additional 4 percent that governments have reserved for them. Individual landowners and private companies own the remaining 12 percent.

Forest ownership varies markedly between countries. In Canada, Guyana, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Russian  Federation and all of central Africa governments own more than 90 percent of the forests and have handed over large portions of them to private companies in the form of forest concessions. In eastern and southern Africa governments also own most of the forest but have given out few forest concessions. Private individuals and companies own over half of the forest in Argentina, Australia, Finland, Sweden and the United States. Communal or cooperative ownership predominates in China, Mexico, and Papua New Guinea. In developing countries generally, indigenous people and local communities own or officially manage 22 percent of all forests, compared with only 3 percent in developed countries.

Over the last 15 years, the forest area that communities and indigenous people own and administer has more than doubled. It now stands at more than 380 million ha. The eight countries of the Amazon Basin now recognize indigenous people's rights to territories covering more than 100 million ha. Countries as diverse as Australia, Canada, Malaysia, the Russian Federation and the Philippines have recently taken major steps in the same direction. Community forest management has also gained official recognition in a number of South Asian and southern African countries.
