| Summary, etc. | The forest situation in China has being deteriorated due to the unsuitable conditions and unsustainable strategies and management methodologies, and the conflicts between forest management/conservation authorities and local government especially local communities on forests management is getting more serious. The National Logging Ban, which issued in 1998 to stop natural forests logging in whole China for ecosystem conservation and soil erosion control has stimulated those conflicts actually, the local communities particularly, under the following of conventional approaches (top-down) on forest management. 'Community Forestry' has been introduced in China for more than ten years, and demonstrated in some pilot counties in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces. The Forest Departments of the provincial governments have partly accepted these ideas and methodology, and the 'participatory approaches' such as participatory Assessing, Planning, Implementation and Monitoring as well as Evaluating have been applied in some forestry projects by the departments, for example, the reforestation projects. But all of those projects were based on the cooperation with some international organizations, including WB, GTZ and WWF. Actually, the local communities in China still have their own 'participatory approaches' on forest management by these indigenous technology knowledge (ITK) at community level. In Western Sichuan, there are many natural forest areas varying condition and management regimes, some experiments have been carried to involve local farmers more active in the management of these forest areas and increase local benefits from the process through their own ITK and customary rules. This implicates that local community could manage the local forest or community forest by using local rules/customary rules and local ITK for sustainable development and conservation of forest resources. A patiicipatory action research has been conducted in Daocai village, Mao County, Sichuan province, China, and the main purpose of the study is to facilitate the community-based natural forest management and learn some things in the process, including key issues, ideas, methodologies and skills on natural forest management. Daocai village is one of the common mountain village in the western Sichuan with the similar characteristics such as poor but with rich natural resources especially the natural forest. In this participatory action research in Daocai, the main problems and key issues on community forest management in Daocai has been identified by involving local community, local governmental staff and researcher. The new strategy and plan for better management of community forest (natural forest) have been developed in the process as well as confirmed by local villagers as the final decisionmaker. Since the limitation of thesis study and the requirement of local community, the new village rules for better management of community forest was developed, approved and has been implemented, but the election of local forest guards was delayed until June when the collection of pine mushroom will start up, as well as the forming of Forest Management Group (FMG). The evaluation and observation on implementation of new village rules has shown that the situation of community forest is getting better because nobody disobey to the new village rules, and all the collection of fuel wood, leaves litter have been forbidden. Ill The study in Daocai village has shown that the community has very high interest on forest management and capable of managing the forest as the main body under the certain situation, such as the elected local forest guards, improved village rules, active participation of community members, appropriate local capacity and organization, transparency and communication among key stakeholders in the process, and consensus and agreement on new strategy and plan. The capacity building at local level and facilitation support from outsiders should be necessary for community-based forest management. The experience in Daocai village has indicated that the involvement of outsiders in the process of community-based forest management could play multi-roles such as the facilitator, negotiator and mediator as well as learner. Some of relationship among local villagers could be promoted by facilitation services. The suggestion of managing the community forest as the village forest enterprise and allocating the benefit or economic outcome of the community forest to all community members as the community welfare by formed/improved special local organization and appropriate village rules might be one of the practical ideas to community-based forest management in China. It is truth that the community-based natural forests still need the incentives to the managers. The case in Daocai village has also proved that forming the new special local organization is not the unique option on community-based forest management. The village committee as the governmental organization in the grass root level in China still could play the key role on community forest management, for example, the management body of that. But the attitude of village committee especially the village director to the community-based natural forest management and his or their reputation in the community is the precondition. It has been identified in Daocai that the trust between village director and villagers might be the key chain on promoting community-base forest management or even the community development, the trust among people in the community is essential to any attempts especially the participatory approaches. No trust then no share and negotiation as well as cooperation in any thing in the process. In general word, the participatory action research in Daocai village has indicated that the local community capable of managing the community forest for local development at householders and community levels. Based on the existing management mechanism on community forest, the local community could be organized for the better management of community forest though the ITK, the local practice and some of introduced idea or approaches under the facilitation services. The community-based forest management is the most attractive potential on natural forest management in China. The experience in Daocai village is the evidence that the roles and rights of local community on natural forest conservation/management should be recognized and promoted. The community-based natural forest could contribute not only the local development, but also the sustainable conservation of natural forest in China as well. |
