very good morning.... have a nice day.....
The sites chosen as Forests of Hope in Asia are typical of the forests of the region. In Indo-Burma, Western Siem Pang in Cambodia is one of the last tracts of the tropical dry forest that once covered much of central Indochina, and has an extraordinary concentration of five Critically Endangered bird species.
To the south, Belum-Temengor, Malaysia, is in one of largest forest blocks on the Malaysian Peninsula. In the Philippines, tracts of forest on the two largest islands (Luzon and Mindanao) have been identified as Forests of Hope.
These sites exemplify all the major threats to the forests of the region. BirdLife Partners are working at other forest sites in tropical Asia —both in other countries and other sites in the same countries — and it is likely that some will become Forests of Hope.
Most forest land in Asia belongs to governments, and land purchase is generally not an option. Therefore conservation strategies generally involve lease or concession approaches, or various forms of collaborative management of forest land with governments and communities. Protected Areas may also be part of the solution: part of Belum-Temengor forest has been upgraded from Production Forest to a State Park, and the Malaysian Nature Society is campaigning for more to be protected.
Conservation organisations and governments alike see the potential of this model for sustainable, self-financing forest management. This has helped to inspire projects in the other countries participating in Forests of Hope in Asia. New concession arrangements or management licenses of various types are now being sought in several countries including Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines....
