Nations Involved In Intergovernmental SFM Processes
The Montreal process started in 1994. It is one of the few regional and international undertakings where the participating countries are striving to use C&I to achieve the SFM.
Montreal Process countries
June 1994 – Montreal Process began12 countries agree to work together to develop C&I for non-tropical forest
Focus on sustainable development of boreal and temperate forests
Montreal Process Member Countries
Twelve countries on five continentsArgentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Russian Federation, United States of America and Uruguay
Participating countries account for80% of the world's temperate and boreal forests (as well as areas of tropical forests)50% of all forests on the globe35% of the world's population45% of world trade in wood and wood products
Russian Federation 48%
China 17%
Japan 64%
Australia 21%
New Zealand 40%

An outline of Natural condition of JapanLand consisted with 4 main and
many small islands which stretch form South-West to North-East about 3000km
Four climatic zones
Sub-tropics, Warm temperate,
Cool temperate, Boreal zoon
Large portion of land is steep mountains that covered forest.
Large amount precipitation(about 2400mm/year), concentrating rainy season (June,July),typhoon season.
Mt. Ontake (3067m) that look behind a photo.
State of the Japanese forest67% forest cover (25 million ha)
40% planted man-made forest (conifer )
60% natural-forest (Broad leaf, Pinus)
Stock...3.48billion m3=139 m3/ha (2000)
Man made forest by indigenous speciesplantation trees : Cryptomeria japonica,Chamaecyparis obtusa, Larix kaemperi, Abies sachalinensis, Picea jezoensisi
Relatively Long Rotation age is 40-100years
80% of forest is private owned many farmer
However, forestry is a decline tendency now.

Native Forests
Australia has 147 million ha of native forest. 9.4 million ha public multiple use forests; and 38 million ha of private native forest
Only 6% of Australia’s native forests are utilised for production, compared with the global average of 34%.
Less than 1% of Australia’s native production forests are harvested annually.

Link to Policy
Three reports demonstrate clear trends
Able to demonstrate policy outcomes Able to discuss issues on a scientific
basis with agreed facts Increasing value to the public and
officials
Moved the debate about forests forward

Canada is a federation of ProvincesCanada is a federation of ProvincesCanada is a federation of Provinces
In Canada the jurisdiction and management of forests is largely a Provincial or Territorial mandate.Federal, provincial and territorial forest ministers recognize need for national perspective and have formed the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM).Canada’s National Forest Strategy (NFS) -CCFM works with Canadians to establish vision & goals for Canada’s forests.

National Level
Very strong support for Montreal Process from many forestry interests
Roundtable on Sustainable Forests has 115 participants
Success of forest C&I led to formation of two more roundtables; both using C&I

academia, organizations• Forests were one of six sectors

Forest Service asked to lead the project because of the success of the Montreal Process C&I and sustainability reporting
State Level
20 States in northeastern U.S. are using 18 indicators, based on MPWG C&IMaryland and Oregon have integrated indicators into State forest management plansIn the southern U.S., a regional roundtable on sustainable forests has begun
Covers 14 States Indicators are a key component of their work
County Level
Most States are sub-divided into smaller administrative areas, called countiesWithin the State of Maryland, Baltimore County has developed a County Report on Sustainable Forests, using a criteria and indicators approach
September workshop convened by Baltimore County was attended by representatives from 15 more counties from 3 States
Summary: How C&I Are Being UsedConceptualizing
National Association of State Foresters has used the MP C&I to characterize forest sustainability in its Principles and Guides for a Well-Managed Forest
Visioning and PlanningBaltimore County, Maryland, is using the MP C&I to envision desired future conditions, engage citizens in dialogue, and set goals
ImplementingThe U.S. Forest Service used the MP C&I to update the Forest Stewardship Program for family and other non-industrial private forest landowners
Monitoring, Assessing, and ReportingMaryland and Oregon used the MP C&I as the basis for conducting assessments of forest conditions; more States are following their lead
Informing and CommunicatingTwenty states in the Northeast and Midwest are using the MP C&I as a framework to organize and improve accessibility to data and a set of base indicators

Montreal Process History
Last MP WG meeting• The Montréal Process Working Group on Criteria and
Indicators for the Conservation and Sustainable Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests held its 19th meeting in Moscow and Rostov, Russia (November 6-10, 2008).
•– the adoption of the Strategic Action Plan Contextual sections (A, B, and
D) and Implementation Annex to the Strategic Action Plan;– the adoption of the new Criterion 7 indicators with rationale
statements and approaches to measurement; – Finalize preparations for Montreal Process activities at the World
Forestry Congress XIII; – Finalize the format, content, and the specific steps to produce the
2009 Overview Report
• 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 Soil and Water• 5.c Avoided fossil fuel carbon emissions by
using forest biomass for energy• 6.1.c Revenue from forest based

sustainable management of forests
THE MONTRÉAL PROCESS STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN: 2009-2015
THE FIVE STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS OF THE MONTRÉAL PROCESS SAP
• 1: Enhance the relevance and use of the Montréal Process Criteria and Indicators for policy makers, practitioners and other users
• 2: Strengthen member country capacity to monitor, assess and report on forest trends and progress toward sustainable forest management using the Montréal Process Criteria and Indicators
• 3: Enhance collaboration and cooperation with forest-related regional and international organizations and instruments and other criteria and indicators processes
• 4: Enhance communication on the value of criteria and indicators and the accomplishments of the Montréal Process
• 5: Enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Montréal Process Working Group and its Technical Advisory Committee and Liaison Office
2009 Overview Report• Last MP Working Group
– discussed a proposal outlining the format, desired content, and specific steps to produce the Montréal Process “2009 Overview Report”.
– refined the purpose and objectives of the report, agreed on key audiences, highlighted priority issues, developed strategies to communicate those issues,
– established a drafting group, convenor and timetable, and identified resource requirements and sources.
• The “2009 Overview Report” will be presented at the World Forestry Congress in Argentina in October 2009.
