FAO publishes the findings of the Global Forest Resources Assessment

March 25, 2010, Rome

- Deforestation in the world, mainly the conversion of tropical forests agricultural land has declined over the past ten years but continues at an alarming rate in many countries, FAO said today.

Worldwide, has been converted to other uses or natural causes lost 13 million hectares of forest per year between 2000 and 2010, compared with 16 million hectares per year during the decade of 1990, as the main conclusions the most comprehensive forest survey conducted by FAO to date: the

Forest Resources Assessment 2010 world. The study covers 233 countries and territories. Brazil and Indonesia, which recorded the largest losses of forest in the 90, have significantly reduced their rates of deforestation. In addition, ambitious tree planting programs in countries as China, India, USA and Viet Nam - combined with the natural expansion of forests in some regions - have added more than seven million hectares of new forests each year. As a result, the net loss of forest area has declined from 8.3 million hectares per year of the decade of 1990 to 5.2 million hectares per year between 2000 and 2010. The world's total forest area to just over 4 000 million hectares or 31 percent of the total land area. The annual net loss of forests (ie the sum of the loss minus the sum of the increases in forest area) in 2000-2010 is equivalent to a surface similar to Costa Rica.


The greatest losses in South America and Africa


South America and Africa had the highest net annual loss of forests in the period 2000-2010, with 4 and 3.4 million hectares respectively. Pacific also registered a net loss, due in part to the severe drought in Australia since 2000.
other hand, Asia recorded a net gain of about 2.2 million hectares per year over the last decade, mainly because of the afforestation on a large scale in China, India and Viet Nam, which has increased its forest area in almost four million hectares per year over the past five years. However, the conversion of forested lands to other uses continued high rates in many countries.
In North and Central America, forest area remained fairly stable, while in Europe continued to grow, albeit at a slower rate than before.

"For the first time, we are able to demonstrate that the rate of deforestation has decreased worldwide as a result of a series of coordinated efforts locally and internationally," said Eduardo Rojas, Director General of the FAO Forestry Department.

"Countries have not only improved their policies and forest legislation, forest have also allocated for use by local communities and indigenous peoples, and for the conservation of biodiversity and other environmental functions. It is a welcome message in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, "said Rojas.

" However, he added, the rate of deforestation is still very high in many countries and areas of primary forests - forests undisturbed

by human activities - are diminishing, so that countries should intensify their efforts to improve management and conservation. "

Forests and Climate Change

Forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. Store a large amount of carbon. When a forest is cleared and converted to another use, carbon is released back into the atmosphere. "A lower rate of deforestation and the creation of new forests have helped to reduce the high carbon emissions from forests caused by deforestation and forest degradation," said Mette Wilkie Løyche, Assessment Coordinator.

"But we need to look ahead because the big tree-planting programs in China, India and Viet Nam, largely responsible for recent increases in forest area, completed in 2020, "he added." This means we have a short period to implement effective and permanent measures to significantly reduce current rates of deforestation and forest degradation. Without these interventions, we risk a sudden return to high rates of net forest loss and carbon emissions from forests, which we had in the 1990's, "he said.

Assessments FAO global forest resources is issued every five years. More than 900 specialists from 178 countries have participated in the Evaluation of Forest Resources 2010. The full report of this evaluation will be made public in October 2010.



main conclusions

Other key findings of this report were:
Brazil lost an average of 2.6 million hectares of forest annually in the last ten years compared to 2.9 million hectares 90. The figures for Indonesia amounted to 0.5 and 1.9 million hectares per year, respectively.

Primary forests constitute 36 percent of the total forest area but have declined by more than 40 million hectares since 2000. To a large extent this is due to the reclassification of forests as "other naturally regenerated forest" due to selective logging and other human interventions.

• The area of \u200b\u200bforests in national parks, wilderness areas and other legally protected areas has increased by more than 94 million hectares since 1990 and currently amounts to 13 percent of the total forest area.
• Forests are a major global carbon sinks. Store some 289 gigatons (Gt) of carbon in trees and other vegetation. Carbon stored in forest biomass, deadwood, litter and soil is more - together - that all the carbon in the atmosphere. Globally, an estimated carbon stocks in forest biomass decreased by 0.5 Gt per year in 2000-2010, mainly due to the reduction of the total forest area.
• fires, pests and diseases are causing increasing damage to forests in some countries. On average, about one percent of global forest area is significantly affected each year by wildfires. Insect pests damaged 35 million hectares of forest each year. Extreme weather events such as storms and blizzards and earthquakes also caused severe damage during the last decade.
• Since 2000, seventy-six countries have developed or updated their forest policies since 2005, sixty-nine countries - mainly in Europe and Africa - have enacted or amended their forest laws.
• Data collection for the Evaluation of global forest resources is becoming more comprehensive and accurate. The new data and additional information on afforestation and natural expansion of forests in the past 20 years have enabled more accurate estimate rates of deforestation and loss of natural causes. The new global estimates for 1990-2000 (Nearly 16 million ha per year) is higher than the previous one, because it now also includes deforestation in countries that have experienced a net increase in forest area.
• A remote sensing survey of forests, led by FAO, with sampling of about 13 500 points, each observed over a period of 15 years, the end of 2011 will provide even more accurate data on global and regional rates of deforestation .

causes of deforestation - population pressure

The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) has put online a Environmental Atlas North America

. This tool can help us consider what may be the reasons for the "change of land use" or deforestation.

The Interactive Atlas is available at http://www.cec.org/atlas/sp.html Section of terrestrial ecosystems, is the map of
Land cover, allowing you to place roughly the distribution of forests, jungles, bushes, grass and other vegetation covers. In the context of approaches

Johann von Thunen, Ester Boserup
or Norman Borlaug, two interesting features can be highlighted on that map. one hand, is north of the vast band of forests and wilderness areas temperate and sub-polar. This area is well suited to the concepts of von Thünen: are areas with good forest cover, which are far more densely populated by humans. It seems that the production costs and freight, would not be profitable to open land for agriculture and transport agricultural products to market. Could be characterized as areas not yet reached the "penetration" of agricultural land uses. On the other hand, emphasizes the eastern United States and Mexico, from New York to Mexico City and the Yucatan Peninsula, also have considerable forest cover, but at the same time have some of the largest cities of the subcontinent. The coexistence of increased population density and forest cover does not fit the model of the "penetration" of the agricultural economy into the forest regions. This coincidence suggests rather that have developed technology that have allowed employers face growing public demand without removing the entire forest cover, as suggested by Boserup happens when the population density grows.

Atlas of CCA, has another interesting map. In the section on "human influence" is the map of human influence on terrestrial ecosystems. Based on population density, infrastructure, communications and nocturnal emission light, this map shows the areas most affected by human activities. Superimposed on land cover, are the two trends mentioned patents. On the one hand, the strip of woodland north of temperate and sub-polar is shown as a vast area that has been stolen from human influence and penetration of the agricultural economy. But on the other hand, the great eastern edge, is presented as the area of \u200b\u200bgreatest impact of human activities that nevertheless retains a significant forest cover.

Zooming in Mexico, there are also distinct patterns. On the one hand they may be areas where conservation of forest cover could be explained as lack of penetration of the agricultural economy. This is evident in the Sierra Madre Occidental, in the Maya forest of Quintana Roo and Campeche, in the Lacandon jungle of Chiapas and in the jungle of the Chimalapas in Oaxaca. The prevalence of cropland in the Coastal Plain, also supports the idea that the loss of forest cover has been caused by the penetration of the agricultural economy. But another trend is observed in the strong human influence has not led to the removal of forest cover, possibly because it has developed a better ability to agronomic and technological frameworks generally able to meet the demand for free food having to remove forest cover, following the approach of Ester Boserup.

is remarkable coexistence of forest areas and human activities in the transverse volcanic axis, since in this age is a significant forest cover and are the cities of Guadalajara, Mexico and Puebla. In Michoacan, Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas, there is a mosaic pattern of deforested areas with high impact of human activities and forest cover areas, which also suggest that there is a pattern that has allowed technology meet the demand of agricultural products without resorting to total removal of forest cover.

Environmental Atlas North America, includes a map of "anthropogenic biomes." In this map, is located at the subcontinental level again, the strip temperate and sub-polar north, as the area where the wild and remote forests. Wastelands are also seen in wild and remote areas with little human influence. Most of the rest of the sub continent, are formations of trees, forest or farm in which the structure and functioning of ecosystems has a significant human influence. The eastern side of the continent stands as the richest in forest ecosystems, although virtually all of them are considered "anthropogenic."

According to this map, for the specific case of Mexico, only the arid northern part of the Maya in Quintana Roo and Campeche, Chimalapas jungle and portions of the Sierra Madre Occidental are considered wild and remote. The rest are anthropogenic ecosystems. This reinforces the idea that most of Mexico's forest heritage can survive, not to the extent that they remain "pristine" because that's not possible, but insofar as they are technological schemes in which face human needs without resorting to the removal of forest cover.

causes of deforestation Deforestation

Referring to deforestation, it is common to say that this phenomenon is "the change of land use." This is absolutely true, because if deforestation is the permanent removal of forest cover, that means the soil will have new coverage, non-forest will be used for anything else. But not much help to understand the causes of deforestation. In other words, if we accept that deforestation is due to land use change, we should investigate the reasons for deciding to change land use. This was a reflection that has occupied many a long time. Some approaches have influenced the analysts and politicians for a long time.

von Thunen model

A German economist of the first half of the nineteenth century, Johann von Thünen (1783 - 1850), proposed a model which to date still has great influence. Von Thunen was also an economist, who owns a farm in Mecklenburg, northern Germany and witnessed how forests and other wilderness areas were converted into farmland. The economist noted that wilderness areas closer to the city first became fields, while other areas, but took longer to become soil quality was bad. Then assumed that the rate of conversion of forests and wilderness areas to agricultural land, had a relationship with distance from the center. These ideas led him to propose a model to describe the change deforestation or crop wild areas, depending on the yield of the land, costs of production, market prices, freight costs and distance the market. (1)

According to von Thünen model might be expected that the pattern of land use in a particular place at a time, basically in areas of intensive horticultural and agricultural sites close to an urban center followed by a belt of woods for firewood. Then, as one is distant from the city, find areas devoted to growing grain and fodder, grazing areas and then eventually the wild.

Over time, the model suggests that as the urban population increases, demand for food will grow causing an increase in the prices of agricultural products, that cost would open new areas to cultivation and so, we would see a progress in the areas of greatest human intervention from urban areas in a process of penetration on forest and wildlife areas. Many neo-Malthusian views are this pattern of reasoning. With this approach, we would have to increase in population as the main engine continued progress of the cultivated areas at the expense of forests and wilderness areas.

The role of technology

American agronomist Norman Borlaug (1914 - Sep 2009), approached the problem differently. He suggested that the development of agricultural techniques could make it more abundant and cheaper production to meet growing demand for food and other products. The decrease in prices of agricultural products, discourage producers in marginal areas, which would discourage the opening of land for cultivation in areas with relatively low fertility or relatively difficult access areas. Borlaug won the Nobel Prize in 1970 for being one of the main architects of the "green revolution."

Borlaug's approach we would predict that the areas of agricultural production is concentrated in principle under the most fertile and accessible areas, such as von Thunen model would suggest. However, as the agricultural capacity of a country was developed, agricultural production tend to concentrate more on the most favorable sites, reversing even the opening of marginal land to cultivation in areas that become less competitive as the productivity in high-tech enclaves grow and prices of agricultural products were reduced. From this point of view, we would expect that the dynamics of deforestation itself was linked to population dynamics and growth of demand, but the country's agricultural capacity in question, greatly modified the impact of population demands on forests and wilderness areas.

Before Borlaug, the Danish economist Ester Boserup (1910 - 1999) noted that technology plays a key role in the dynamics of land use. She documented cases in very different contexts, in which after observing a population growth deforestation and some lively demand for agricultural products, the actual growth in population density, creates conditions for technological leaps, or if you will, "revolutions" like Borlaug. These technological leaps, substantially changing the weight factors of von Thünen (yield, production costs, freight and prices) and explain why the race between food production capacity and demand associated with population growth, has not been gained global demand. For Boserup, population growth not only generates increased demand for agricultural products. Creates the conditions for the development of agricultural technology. (2)

conceptual approaches in Mexico - Trends

:

A final point that we must comment on deforestation is the trends.

Francisco Takaki's paper INEGI, we discussed in previous emails, gives us some information on these trends:



A first trend is observed, which we mentioned in the message of March 17 last, is that deforestation appears to be slowing down a consistent, increased from 1 million hectares. annual end of the century, to 336.500 in 2002 (Takaki, 2010), 260.400 ha. in 2005 (FAO, 2005).

Secondly, although the previous trend should feed some optimism for the forests, INEGI data indicate a tendency to replace natural forests with high trees and vegetation without trees, Agricultural Use Areas and Zones Urban, who by the end of the century (1986) grew at a rate of 1,009,736 hectares per year and in recent times (2002) grew at a rate of 754.211 hectares. year.

Thirdly, we note a significant reduction of forests and jungles of the highest commercial value, they are replaced in part by communities degraded plant. Most of the value of forest production, comes from coniferous forests and high forests and vegetation types are those who are suffering significant reductions.

For coniferous forests, the observed reduction of 172.000 hectares per year by the end of the century. The loss of these valuable forests accelerated to 290,000 hectares per year in recent times. In the case of evergreen forests, the annual reductions were the order of 183,000 hectares by the end of the twentieth century and 93.000 hectares in recent times.



In summary, while on one hand the reduction global rate of deforestation real, it is feasible to stop deforestation in Mexico in the coming years, ranching, agriculture and urban growth continue to reduce the wild. While they tend to be less disturbed forests are diminishing other vegetation, which has biological and social importance. Moreover, data on the composition, show the reduction in the forests of high commercial value, which speaks of a serious neglect of the sustainability criteria in the management of the forests for commercial purposes.

As the amount of forests and jungles that are lost is reduced, quality of forest vegetation is becoming one of the most important issues for good forest policy in Mexico.

Deforestation in Mexico - Dimensions

:

The Director General of Standards, the Department of Geography of INEGI, the biologist Francisco Takaki, gave a presentation entitled: "Basic Information for Construction of the rate of deforestation. " It is available by clicking here

, or visit the INEGI: http://www.inegi.org.mx/rne/docs/Pdfs/Mesa3/20/FranciscoTakaki.pdf

Based in Lund, HG, V. Torres, A. L. Turner Wood.2002. Mexico. Critical analysis of the available estimates deforestación.USAID. SEMARNAT. Indicates that there is enormous variation in estimates of deforestation in Mexico, ranging from 75,000 hectares a year to 1.98 million hectares per year. Takaki notes that "It is important to note that you can not tell that one or other estimate of the rate of deforestation is" right "or" wrong. "As were calculated with different definitions, methodologies and data sources
, only can say that an estimate of the rate of deforestation carried out for a particular purpose, can not be compared with one that responds to a different requirement. "

An explanation of the wide variation in the data deforestation, refers to the definitions. If, as mentioned, it could say that the phenomenon of deforestation include the permanent loss of any wildlife community, should be put in the accounts the wooded areas of forests and forest loss, but also add the areas of scrub, scrub, mangroves, and other wilderness areas have been transformed to other uses, or who have lost their attributes of "wild." If one takes into account all this, you can reach Victor Toledo estimate that in 1989 1.5 million hectares deforested annually.

However, if we reduce the estimate only wooded areas, we obtain figures more consistent. Following this approach and establishing parameters that seek to standardize methodologies and to generate comparable data across countries, FAO has published its rating of Forest Resources, which Mexico had 69.016 million hectares of woodland in 1990 and went on to have 65,540 in 2000 and 64,238 in 2005. This means that in the period 1990-2000 were lost in average annual 347.600 wooded acres between 2000 and 2005, 260.400 hectares per year. You can see the data published by FAO

clicking here or visiting
http://www.fao.org/forestry/32089/en/mex/
For its part, INEGI Francisco Takaki, presents data showing that, according to the first digital map of Land Use and INEGI vegetation built in 1980, ie the number of letters I, Mexico had 51.5 million hectares of trees. By integrating the Series II cards with satellite data of 1993, had 37.5 million hectares of trees. When the Series III produced information cards 2002, had 34.5 million hectares. That is to say that in the past (1980-1993), lost an average of 1.076 million hectares per year and in recent years (1994-2002) the annual loss of forests and jungles fell to 336.500 hectares per year. These are the data Takaki, meeting in a single box:

Deforestation in Mexico - Definitions

:

To have a framework of definitions, it should be noted that the Royal Academy of Language, defines "deforestation" and the "action and effect of deforestation." Is a word that perhaps comes from deforestation French, English and this deforestation. "Deforesting

" is "
strip of land forest plants." " Forest" comes from Latin forestālis and refers to "belonging or relating to forests and the harvesting of firewood, grass, etc..." The Latin word forestālis comes from "fora", ie outside. From this point of view, forest life forms do not refer only to trees or wooded areas, but what is "outside" areas where people live, planting and cultivating their gardens and fruit. Basically, it refers to communities of wild trees, plants, animals and microorganisms. Thus, not only the forests but natural grasslands, scrub, mangroves or rocky mountainous areas, are environments "forest." Similarly, plantations for wood chips, paper or orchards, but are formed by woody plants should not be considered as "forest." In fluent English, the permanent loss of wildlife communities, could be considered "deforestation." However, to keep track of the processes of change at the national and global levels, FAO has restinga deforestation definition "the conversion of forests to other land use or the reduction of crown cover to less than ten percent limit. "

Deforestation includes areas of forest converted to agriculture, pasture, water reservoirs and urban areas. Deforestation also includes areas where, for example, the impact of disturbance, over- or changing environmental conditions affect the forest so that it can not accommodate a crown cover greater than ten percent threshold. The term specifically excludes areas where trees were removed because of the holding or clearing, and where the forest is expected to regenerate naturally or with the aid of silvicultural techniques. Unless logging is followed by a continuous land clearing by a disturbance, forests generally regenerate, although often under a different condition, is secondary. In areas of shifting cultivation, forest, forest fallow and agricultural land, they appear under a dynamic pattern where deforestation and the return of the forest often occurs in small islands. To simplify the reports on, is often used as the net change in a wider area (1). That is, the FAO chooses to monitor changes in tree cover lost to expsnsas Follow up on other wilderness areas, which might be considered "forest."
From the reports of the Mexican government, the FAO reported for Mexico in 2005 a coverage of 64.238 million hectares of forest, ie 33.7% of land area. When comparing the forest assessments, 1990, 2000 and 2005, FAO reported 69,016, 65,540 and 64.238 million hectares trees, respectively. This means the loss of about 5 million hectares between 1990 and 2005 and lost an average of 348.000 hectares per year, ie 0.5% (2)

What role should civil society play in implementing these measures?

What role can play social organizations, enterprises and government agencies?

To analyze this issue, I suggest we proceed with our discussion in sections. We could try to comment on each part for a week beginning Monday March 14:

1. (15-20 March) What is meant by deforestation, which is the magnitude and trends of deforestation in Mexico

2. (22-27 March) What are the direct or proximate causes of deforestation, which are the indirect or underlying causes of deforestation

3. (March 29 to April 3) What measures should be taken to stop deforestation in a few years in Mexico; What role should civil society play in the implementation of such measures; What role can social organizations, enterprises and government agencies.

If you think we go this way, we ask that you please send your comments, suggestions, documents, etc. to
cd2020-mx@mailman.greenpeace.org
