Also available in:
This booklet presents the main results of the Project funded by the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM), "Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes". The project focuses on 4 major components: •Component 1: Production of data and development of tools to support decision and management of vulnerable Mediterranean forest ecosystems affected by climate change and the ability of these forest ecosystems to adapt to global c hange; •Component 2: Evaluation of the economic and social value of goods and services provided by Mediterranean forest ecosystems in particular through the study of multiple issues related to environmental changes and their potential effects on the socio-economic development of Mediterranean territories; •Component 3: Development of participatory and territorial approaches for forest governance in these Mediterranean forest ecosystems; •Component 4: Optimization of environmental goods and servi ces provided by the Mediterranean forests and valorization of these efforts of optimization (including carbon sequestration). -

No results found.Located in the Keserwan-Jbeil region of Lebanon, the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve (N 34º 03’ 43.93”, E 35º 46’ 09.84”) is bordered by the Nahr Ibrahim river to the north and the Nahr el Dahab river to the south. The area of the reserve is approximately 6 500 ha large and the range of altitudes (350 to 1 600 m) is responsible for a wide variety of habitats. A typical Mediterranean ecosystem is located within the reserve, where evergreen sclerophylic shrubs and forests are the most common type o f vegetation spread on karstic landscapes and steep slopes. Jabal Moussa was designated as a Protected Forest by the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture in 2008. A year later, it was declared as a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Program, as well as an Important Bird Area by Bird Life International. Like all UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Jabal Moussa is divided into three main management zones: core area, buffer zone, and development or transition zone (Figure -

Also available in:
No results found.This report takes place within the framework of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” (2012-2016) financed by the French Global Environment Facility together with the German Cooperation (GIZ), the French Ministry of Agriculture, Agrifood, and Forestry, and the European Union in 5 countries in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Near East (Lebanon, Turkey). Turkey has provided a nationa l and technical report on the component 2 of the project focused on the evaluation of the economic and social value of certain goods and services provided by Mediterranean forest ecosystems. This report provides an assessment of the socio-economic value of goods and services rendered by the forest ecosystem at the Düzlerçamı pilot site with the aim of providing assistance for the decision-making process and strengthening support actions for a sustainable management of these ecosystems. Four ecos ystem goods and services were selected as priorities for the different stakeholders and according to the presence of data about timber production, biodiversity protection, recreation and sequestration of carbon.
