A joint publication of ITTO and the African Timber Organization (ATO), this document is designed to guide the African member countries of ATO and ITTO in the sustainable management of their natural tropical forests.

The manual reviews the conceptual framework of Criteria and Indicators (C&I) for sustainable forest management, and introduces the theoretical basis of Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) and methods. It provides an example of how MCA can be applied to C&I in a Forest Certification context.

This guide provides a brief overview of tools, concepts and guidance in the selection and use of participatory tools that people linked with the Center for International Forestry Research have adapted and developed for use with forest communities. It is intended for environment and development practitioners, researchers and local government officials.

This guide focuses on the social criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management. It is designed for people interested in assessing sustainable forest management, but who do not have a high degree of expertise in social sciences.

This guidebook lists minimum requirements that CDM forestry projects need to meet, outlines steps of the CDM project cycle, gives an overview of risks, looks at forestry CDM projects from a financial viewpoint, and discusses quality standards. The guidebook outlines the present state of the markets and describes some of the mechanics and policy processes underlying them. It has a full section describing procedures that can be followed for commercialization of carbon credits and analyzes buyers preferences, and project success criteria. It also recommends strategies for carbon credit commercialization.

These draft guidelines provide general advice on incorporation of biodiversity considerations into new or existing environmental impact assessment procedures, noting that existing procedures take biodiversity into consideration in different ways.

These tools critically examined the factors influencing successful non-timber forest product (NTFP) commercialization, with practical field testing, and further developed theory relating to the commercialization of NTFPs and rural development.

These are series of guidelines developed by European Union to guide forest project developers and other practioners with regard to safety and environmental precautions.

This guide provides a solid practical foundation for training in statistical methods for ecological and biodiversity studies. It is aimed at scientists and students analysing tree diversity data, but can be used for a wider range of organisms, for different hierarchical levels of biodiversity and for a variety of environments.

This guide has been prepared to assist and train forest managers and others in the field with techniques and tools of wood harvesting.

This manual was prepared to offers best practices and guidelines for forestry nursery workers.

This guide has been prepared by ILO to clarify the concepts and discusses social aspects and groups in relation to forest management and the way they are covered in existing sets of criteria and indicators of sustainable forest management (SFM). It presents suggested criteria and indicators of SFM based on ILO texts and comments on ways in which they can be used to develop or complement standards at the national and forest management unit level.

These guidelines contain an internationally recognized set of principles and possible actions designed to guide the implemention of sustainable forest management in the tropics.

These guidelines comprise general principles and recommended actions applicable to the deliberate planting of trees in tropical environments, particularly in large-scale plantation forests designed for industrial wood production.

The principle objective of these guidelines is to optimize the contribution of timber-production tropical forests to the conservation of biological diversity.

These guidelines provide a basis on which policy-makers and managers at various levels can develop programs and projects to address specific national, socio-economic and natural problems related to fire in natural and planted tropical forests.

These guidelines were developed by a team of experts from ITTO, national agencies and its partners, are part of a substantial effort to deal with degraded forest and forest land.

These guidelines have been developed with the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) Working Party on Remote Sensing and World Forest Monitoring (S 4.02-05) in coopeartion with the Food and Agriculture Organizations (FAO) of the United Nations. The purpose of these guidelines is to promote standardized or compatible collection and reporting of selected data for forest monitoring through cooperation in such a way that the results offer a common data base for research and management.

The purpose of these guidelines is to help the reader design multipurpose resource inventories to meet international needs and as input for national assessments. The intended audience are those people that design inventories at the state, provincial or national level, although the guidelines are also useful locally. The authors assume the reader has some prior experience in designing resource inventories.

The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) has developed this methodology with the aim to provide a practical, cost-effective approach to assessing the impacts of a wildlife enterprise in terms of commercial viability, local economic, financial and livelihood impacts, impacts on other stakeholders and contribution to conservation.

These tools examine Transparency International's approach in fighting corruption and linkage of this approach with the forest sector. This approach in tackling corruption could offer means for good governance in forest sector, and perhaps necessary addition to the fight against illegal logging.

This guide was prepared by governments of Finland, Germany, Honduras, Indonesia, Uganda, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with support of FAO and UNDP to offer a practical tool for the assessment and integration of the IPF proposals for action into national forest programmes.

This guide provides step-by-step directions for accessing GEF funds for projects preventing and controlling land degradation. First, it gives the reader general information about the GEF, how it operates and its partners. Then, provides specific information about GEF's programme to promote sustainable land management projects and a step-by-step guide for detailing how to apply for some of this funding.

This manual reviews what is meant by a "participatory approach," and the benefits to such an approach. It further examines when participatory approaches are appropriate, and which method should be used. The main focus of this toolkit is to guide practitioners through the process of implementing participatory methods.

This tool aimed to assist national-level assessment of progress and priorities for action toward sustainable forest management, it was developed in support of the United Nations Forum on Forests.

This toolkit has been prepared by the World Bank to inform environmental assessment practitioners, project managers, executing agencies and other project stakeholders about the costs and benefits of effective treatment of biodiversity in project design, acceptance and long-term sustainability, it outlines pragmatic and cost-effective approaches and methods to achieve effective treatment of biodiversity in environmental assessment.

This manual aims to strengthen awareness and interest in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), and to clarify what it entails. It has been prepared for government officials, development managers, and civil society.
