Resumen
Descripción
This Country Forest Note offers an
in-depth picture of the forest sector of Uzbekistan, viewed
through a forest landscape lens, and provides guidance to
help define goals and identify opportunities for the
continued development of the sector. Despite a large number
of current challenges, forest landscape management presents
opportunities for sustainable development: increasing the
forest area will provide additional benefits in terms of
climate change. A holistic approach to soil degradation is
required that includes improved livestock husbandry, soil
management, and agricultural practices, all of which have a
role to play. Leskhozes have a central role in transforming
the forest sector and augmenting their capacity and skills
needs to be an important consideration. Equally important is
to encourage community participation through mahallas and
create favorable conditions for private sector involvement.
Strong government commitment and institutional and
stakeholder buy-in and ownership are required to support the
transition to more adaptive management in forestry. This
transition is critical to address climate change issues,
increased threats to forests, soil and water conservation,
economic management of wood and non-wood forest products
(NWFPs) from forested landscapes, and improvement of
livelihoods of rural households.
