National Forest Policy of Sri Lanka -1995
The forestry policy approved by the government in 1995 states that all the forest areas are to be managed in a sustainable manner in order to ensure the continued existence of important ecosystems and flow of forest products and services. It also recognizes and respects the traditional rights, cultural values and religious beliefs of people living in and adjacent to forest areas. There are adequate provisions for collaborative management of protected areas and for benefit sharing.
The three main objectives of the National Forest Policy are,
To conserve forests for posterity, with particular regard to biodiversity, soils, water, and historical, cultural, religious and aesthetic values.To increase the tree cover and productivity of the forests to meet the needs of present and future generations for forest products and services.To enhance the contribution of forestry to the welfare of the rural population, and strengthen the national economy, with special attention paid to equity in economic development.
National Policy on Wildlife Conservation and National Land Use Policy are two other important policies related to the National Forest Policy.
Forestry Sector Mater Plan
The first Forestry Sector Master Plan was prepared in 1986. Although this plan made a valuable contribution to improve the database needed for planning and to introduce a systematic approach to develop countries forest resources, it also had deficiencies due to its pioneering nature. The main drawback of the plan was having too narrow a scope and not addressing environmental aspects of forestry adequately while failing to get involved all the key stakeholders in the planning process. In order to address the deficiencies found in the first forestry master plan, an environmental review was carried out in 1989 by the government. Based on the recommendations of this review, the current master plan was prepared in 1995 covering bio-physical, environmental, socio-political, and economic aspects of the forestry sector. The plan covers the period 1995-2020.
The Forestry Sector Master Plan puts particular emphasis on:
Conserving the remaining natural forests to maintain biological resources (flora & fauna) as reservoirs of biodiversity.Empowering people and rural communities to manage and protect multiple use forests mainly for their own benefit.Building partnerships in forestry development activities.Developing home garden and other agro forestry systems as well as forest plantations to meet peoples basic needs and to supply industrial wood.Policy and legal reforms.Developing and strengthening forestry institutions, both state and NGOs.
