Forest landscape conflicts can be devastating on many levels – economic, environmental and social, from individual, to subnational, national and global levels. They are symptomatic of many issues revolving around weak governance. The problem is that seldom are they effectively addressed. The aim of the paper is to better understand how and why forest landscape conflicts are happening, who is addressing them, and what can be done to prevent conflict or improve conflict outcomes.

RECOFTC has made significant institutional progress during 2009–2010, building upon the solid foundation set during the first year of the Strategic Plan. An increase in national-level staff has added muchneeded representation and visibility for the organization’s focal countries. This has enabled us to increasingly be at the forefront of community forestry developments on the ground, to react quickly to emerging trends, and to gain better access to new partners and donors.

Wood energy is vital to the livelihoods of rural communities in the Mekong region, where over five times more fuelwood than timber is extracted for daily use. However, the energy needs of the community are commonly not factored into the establishment of market-oriented enterprises, which can lead to supply disruptions and subsequent impact on income as well as the environment. Hence, the importance of establishing sustainable community forest (CF) management, to ensure a stable provision of wood energy and to prevent gaps in supply and demand is significant.

The year 2007–2008 was the final year of the RECOFTC Program Phase 2004–2008. We are pleased to report that the four-year Program Plan was successfully implemented on time, and we fulfilled all the major remaining commitments, even exceeding targets in some areas. This is largely thanks to the generous financial support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
