Resumen
Descripción
Primary forests and natural landscapes in Asia and the Pacific are under increasing pressures and threats driven by population growth, migrations and conflicts, globalization and economic growth, urbanization, mining and infrastructure development, agriculture and planted forest expansion, forest fires, invasive species and disease outbreaks. Many of these threats are increasingly exacerbated by climate change. Policy coherence across sectors and scales and context-specific action plans, at fine scale of management, are needed to address these threats.
This policy brief informs the process and key steps by which decision-makers and actors can evaluate the state of primary forests in the region, identify priority areas and priority actions for primary forest conservation, assess the threats they face, and explore possible ways to address them.
