8.Academic & NGOs Severely CriticizePlantation Forestry.

1. Society: Land dispute between local people and private companiesp p

2. Ecological problems: Land degradation, soil erosion, flood, drought, loss of bio-diversityerosion, flood, drought, loss of bio diversity

9.We Can Achieve Sustainable Plantation F tForestry

Three elements must be realized on ‘sustainable plantation forestry’:

1. Economics: how stakeholders (govt., private (g , psector, academics, NGOs, local people) cooperate to boost production, technical p p ,innovation (seedling), soft loan, subsidiary, training manpower, etc.g p ,

2. Social: to reduce land dispute, participation, rule network benefit sharing etcrule, network, benefit sharing, etc.

3. Ecological: creative innovation to protect bio-diversity ecosystem soil quality waterdiversity, ecosystem, soil quality, water catchment, to reduce flood, soil erosion, etc.

10.You Can Contribute to Achieve Sustainable Plantation Forestry
