Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our study found out that the participatory forest management could not contribute much to poverty alleviation. We were forced to change the objectives to evaluate the programs of Asia countries in terms of achievement of triple benefit such as climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and poverty alleviation/livelihood maintenance. The results show that Restored Forest Ecosystem Management and Management of Customary Forest in Indonesia, Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) in the Philippines, Agroforestry and Social forestry, Restoration of Mangroves, and Restoration of Wetlands in India, Community Forestry and Establishment of Mixed Plantations in Bangladesh and Farmers Woodlots Management in Sri Lanka have high potential of achieving triple benefit and reasonably feasible to implement.
