In the course of
their knowledge management activities, which has, among other instruments,
brought about the online ASEAN Secretariat's Forest CHM (http://forest-chm.aseansec.org),
the German-ASEAN Regional Forest programme (ReFOP) have published
the findings from 25 years of project work in the forestry sector.
The sourcebook, published under editing and digital pre-press
assistance by ECO, offers a synthesis of the experience from around
20 projects supported by GTZ. It contains primary sources such as
recommendations, guidelines, field manuals and pre-defined table
formats for information retrieval, valid througout Southeast Asia
(with a bias on the partner countries involved).
The selection of 12 papers in full print covers recurring aspects
of silviculture, social forestry and forest biodiversity. Three
annotated bibliographies – the so-called "tool boxes"
– each list in table format
- project names and addresses in the area of expertise as well as
- 30 to 70 commented sources each from projects, with links for
direct access.
Many of the major contributors to the digging work that was necessary
to compile the bibliographies, notably Günther Haase and Anke
Camphausen, are among the authors of the sourcebook's main texts.
Driving forces behind the "Best Practices for Sustainable Forest
Management in Southeast Asia" compemdium were Bernhard von
der Heyde and Rolf Krezdorn.
"Best Practices for Sustainable Forest Management in Southeast
Asia" is available at the ASEAN Secretariat, asean-forest@aseansec.org.
