With 48% forest cover, the Greater Mekong Subregion still has large areas of forest remaining. The area of primary forest is, however, low and falling, while large tracts of forest are highly degraded and forest planting rates remain low in most countries. Reinvestment in forests is necessary to maintain wood and timber production, support biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, revitalise rural economies and protect against natural hazards and the impacts of climatic alterations. For a greener future, investment in forestry is essential.

In this issue, we look at the launch of the new Global Soil Partnership and examine the next steps. We also look report on FAO’s collaboration with NASA to create an international fire-reporting system, the Global Fire Information Management System, which delivers key data to remote regions of developing countries. Finally, we introduce FAO-MOSAICC, an integrated package of models to carry out climate change impact assessment at the national level.

Most of the terrestrial biodiversity within the Asia-Pacific region is contained within forests. Protected areas are the mainstay for biodiversity conservation although other forest areas are also important. Habitat destruction and extraction of high-value species are major threats to biodiversity. Ecosystem stability is based on interdependence among constituent species and with biodiversity loss, resilience to change is reduced. Awareness raising, stringent environmental impact assessments, and improved law enforcement are required.

En este número describimos el lanzamiento, en la Sede de la FAO en septiembre de 2011, de la Alianza mundial sobre los suelos, y examinamos las etapas siguientes de esta alianza. También informamos acerca de las actividades colaborativas llevadas a cabo entre la FAO y la NASA, encaminadas a crear el Sistema Global de Gestión de Información sobre Fuegos, un procedimiento internacional de avisos de incendios por medio del cual se comunican datos fundamentales sobre los fuegos a regiones remotas de países en desarrollo.

La seguridad de la tenencia es un requisito previo importante para la gesti?n forestal sostenible. La diversificaci?n de los sistemas de tenencia podr?a proporcionar una base para mejorar la gesti?n de los boques y los medios de vida locales, especialmente cuando la capacidad de gesti?n forestal del Estado no es suficiente.

La sécurité de la tenure est une condition essentielle à la gestion durable des forêts. La diversification des systèmes de tenure pourrait servir de base à l’amélioration de l’aménagement forestier et des moyens d’existence locaux, en particulier là où l’Etat ne dispose pas des moyens suffisants pour gérer les forêts. Au cours de la dernière décennie, de nombreux pays ont entamé des efforts de réforme de leurs systèmes de tenure forestière, en déléguant certains droits d’accès et de gestion aux ménages, aux sociétés privées et aux communautés.
