Project Background
Desire from communities for sustainable economies that don’t compromise natural capital
Historical conflicts between PAs & SFM, and between PAs & human communities
Considerable uncertainty regarding the relationships between protected areas and SFM

Types of protected areas
Legislated, set-aside areas (IUCN I-VI) Management regimes (e.g., “no-cut” zones) Regulations Land-use designations Traditional Aboriginal lands Recovery habitat (e.g., for species at risk) Private stewardship (e.g., easements) Certification forests

Current knowledge
Lots of research! Very little communication between
research foci. Need for broader application of
knowledge across sectors. Knowledge sectors often perceived
to be in conflict.

Progress to date…
Assembly of a database of literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) germane to the topic of how PAs and SFM have (or have not) worked in the past
Preparation of an annotated bibliography Development of a survey to project
partners Concept paper Website
![Page 16: An SFMN State of Knowledge Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812e45550346895d93d485/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some preliminary findings....
~200 documents included in database of information, including:
-National & International case studies
-Community / Aboriginal forest mgmt projects
-Theory-based articles (PA or SFM)
-Direct benefit of PAs to SFM
-Certification
-Model Forest
-Joint Management
-Some categories more fruitful than others
-Stronger focus on extractive forest management than on PA management
-Examination of European literature

Concept paper - highlights
Many initiatives in Canada attempt to integrate ecosystem management with SFM
Most case studies are in the boreal Emphasis in many papers on the
importance of co-management Co-management also identified as a key
challenge
![Page 18: An SFMN State of Knowledge Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56812e45550346895d93d485/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concept paper - highlights
Strategies to integrate conservation and SFM vary in scale and methods
Some general strategies employed: Co-management strategies Model Forests/Forest Communities Program Certification Community Forestry Aboriginal-led initiatives Ecosystem-based management

European focus
Similar issues, but different government and ownership rules
Large-scale coordination of protected areas (Natura 2000)

Why are we here today?
Feedback on concept paper Feedback on presentations Interaction from across the country
and across knowledge sectors to stimulate dialogue on these issues

Critical Questions
1. What is an appropriate schematic for the various types/categories of PAs and SFM; how do they relate to each other? Give examples.
