Course Discription |
:
This course will focus in giving students the background knowledge to identify the issues of interest to stakeholders in forest land use from environmental point of view. Develops the skills needed to estimate the sustainable forest ecosystem and the approaches that combine the social, cultural and economic needs of local communities with the long-term sustainability of large landscapes in which forests are an important feature. By design they are voluntary, broad-based initiatives linking forestry, research, agriculture, investment, recreation, and other values and interests within a given landscape. Students will gain skills in the theoretical aspects of both plantation and natural forest sustainability. |
