Innovative approaches have included working closely with communities to develop solutions, such as agroforestry systems, which can help meet future needs for wood and non timber forest products within the context of broader livelihood requirements.

In agroforestry systems, trees or shrubs are intentionally used within agricultural systems, or non timber forest products are cultured in forest settings.

2. Further processing means the transformation of logs into primary wood products, semi finished and finished products made wholly or almost wholly of tropical timber and transformation of other forest products to give them added value

In practice, however, constraints of accessibility, technology and institutional arrangements cause local and regional shortfalls in supply that put pressure on some forests for unsustainable levels of harvesting of wood (including fuelwood and non timber forest products).

Such income, from the sale of non timber forest products, can be particularly important for rural women.

This was based on using older native forest wood with a high number of growth rings per inch.

Promoting better understanding of the contribution of non timber forest products and ecological services to the sustainable management of tropical forests and cooperating with relevant institutions and processes to this end

The validity of trade in sustainable forest products, both domestic and international, must be recognized.

Carbon emissions can be reduced through increasing the use of wood (which is a renewable resource), either for durable wood products or for biofuel, in place of fossil fuels.

(o) Promoting better understanding of the contribution of non timber forest products and ecological services to the sustainable management of tropical forests and cooperating with relevant institutions and processes to this end

In developing countries, many more people are currently engaged in small scale processing and trading of forest products than are employed in larger scale forest industries.

Importing of forest products, resulting from local or regional scarcities, may put pressure on other regions.

Others are experimenting with efforts to raise productivity and quality in the area of forest products.

Two websites sell Pitcairn products, including wood carvings, woven baskets, jewellery, honey, dried fruit, painted leaves and other items.

Forest clearing in Ghana is also a result of urban sprawl, export of timber, and use of wood for domestic fuel.

The production of high quality forest products for international markets can require significant investment in advanced technology.

(h) Enhance bilateral, regional and international cooperation to address illicit international trafficking in forest products through the promotion of forest law enforcement and good governance at all levels

Indeed, non sustainable products should be phased out gradually.

There have often been imbalances in current international arrangements with respect to consideration of the forest products trade.
