A long experience in tropical plantations
• Fast growing exotic speciesfor industrial wood or energywood on savannas
• Monospecific plantationswith local species afterremoving natural forests
• Restoration of degradedforests with natural or exoticspecies for high quality timber
• Enrichment of forests afterlogging

A long experience in tropical plantations

• International financing strategiesand policies
• Privatization of the forest basedsector
• Strong environmental pressure• Certification: better sustainable
management or just market tool ?• management plans for all forest
concessions• Strong demand for social benefits
(employment, welfare…)• Evolution in markets and tools
(smaller wood)• Energy demand increases (urban
and periurban)• Food and NWFP demands give new
opportunities for agroforestry• Carbon market opportunities (CDM /
REDD)
New demands for plantation forestry in a climate change environment

• In temperate countries, centuries of decline(agriculture, industry)
• And now rapid increase in area and volume sincecentury 20
• Sustainability does not mean all uses at the samelevel of management
• Increase in costs may induce spatialization of forest priority uses (« wood factories »,…)
• Induced effects of climate change (positive and negative)
A endless evolution for forests all around the world
![Page 13: Forest plantations in tropical countriesForest plantations in tropical countries: A powerful tool for forest management, conservation and restoration in a climate change perspective](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040912/5e87c13e624b44684d163403/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Traditional values are production of wood, protection and greening.
New values appear as (e.g.)• Added value to forest concession
management plans• Economic enhancement of forest
value• Better economic value means better
social and ecologic values • Political impact in term of territorial
organization• Urban and periurban needs
new values for planted forests
• Logging more trees on smallerareas means lower costs• Homogeneity in trees meansstandard products and bettermarkets• Creation of economic flows and insfrastructures
• Rehabilitation of forest diversitywith mixted plantations x natural forests
• Plantations are a land mark and the last protection beforedeforestation
• Plantation catalytic effect is real

• Forest plantations are not natural forests• Plantation is a complex proces, often underestimated• Always a human decision before implementing on the field• Plantations cost money (including certification) and we expect
benefits (monetary or not)• Some generic principles and many specific and precise techniques• Most of the failures and unwanted side effects around the world
have human origins (institutional, economic, ecologic, social,..)• Certification and/or sustainability ?• Short term plantations must allow reversibility for other land use
after final logging.
Some specific points related to forest plantations sust ainability
