Forestry and Conservation

Forestry and Conservation, although inherently kindred interests, have recently diverged to the point of antagonism. Why is this, and how can they be brought together again?John Evelyn, a founder of forestry, as a matter of public policy, presented it as of much wider significance than the production of timber alone. During the past century, however, a narrower and more materialist approach has prevailed, ignoring the relationship between land, men, and science, and creating conflicts between foresters and conservationists. It is probably common ground that until very recently much of the training of professional foresters has been inadequate to equip them for appreciating the broader role of forestry and for communicating with fellow interests in land-use.Conservationists equally suffer from deformations arising from their early struggles. They tend to line up in two groups—the ‘polarizers’ who are heirs of the pioneer missionary and compaigning stage, and the ‘integrators’ who are more concerned to find operators in the area of natural resources who are ready to cooperate in acceptable compromises.Many current practices in forestry unfortunately tend to repel the ‘integrators’ and to drive conservationists into adopting ‘polarizer’ attitudes. Forest managers are at last becoming aware of this problem, and to the importance of decision-making on the basis of underlying scientific principles and facts, which can enable a joint strategy to be developed between foresters and conservationists for the wise and balanced long-term use of the vast forest resource.

Bosbeleid en Landversorging in Duitsland

SUMMARY The important role of forestry in Germany in the care of the landscape, i.e. the environment in which man lives, is stressed. In Germany the prices of timber have remained fixed, or have even decreased, and production costs have risen. Forestry must, therefore, be rationalized or be justified on grounds of its welfare and cultural values. The shift of emphasis in South African forest policy, from commercial sawtimber production to general land-service based on the indirect values of forests, is foreshadowed.

Forestry and Human Environment in Southern Africa

Summary Forestry can make a considerable contribution towards the development of all territories in southern Africa. It is a major task of forestry to improve the environment in which we live. The role of forestry in southern Africa, as a business in which private capital can be profitably invested, or as a state-subsidized production of timber indispensable to the commonweal, has been fully appreciated, but the additional main purpose of forestry—the stewardship of green landscapes—has been rather neglected. The accessory benefits, the indirect and amenity values of forestry are very important. These include dune-reclamation, the management of water catchments and tree-planting for shade, shelter and ornament. Foresters must provide greenness. A new word, verdurize, is proposed to describe this task of providing verdure. Foresters should maintain nature reserves in forests and veld, with the accent on flora rather than on fauna, wherever the land has not been developed for agriculture or plantations of t...
