International projects on sustainable forest management Issue 9 – February 2021
GREET INGS Dear Readers, Our forests are immensely valuable to both humans and nature: They are climate protectors, home to countless animal and plant species and support the livelihood of millions of people. But the consequences of climate change, illegal logging and slash-and-burn agriculture pose a real threat to our forests. We must act together to protect them: from tropical forests to northern coniferous forest regions. With our project letter on international sustainable forest management, we will therefore provide an insight into the countries in which our Ministry of Forests is actively working with interna- tional institutions. We will set out how we are supporting the creation of the necessary framework conditions for sustainable multifunctional forest management and afforestation, and how we are combating overexploitation and illegal logging. The involvement of the local population and providing them with sources of income and food from the forest is always of highest priority. In Morocco, for example, we are leading the fight against illegal timber use and for the development of a modern, competitive and sustainable forestry sector. To accomplish this, there is an urgent need for a wealth of expertise and a well-functioning forestry sector. Working together with international organisations and partners from scientific, 2

industrial and political fields, our ministry promotes the transfer of knowledge and
networking with German forestry experts, international initiatives for education
and training at all levels of organised forest management, as well as collaborations in
research on sustainable forest management.
Through our numerous projects, we are making a substantial contribution to
international sustainability goals and to the implementation of the United Nations
Strategic Plan for Forests. But most importantly, we are intensifying and enhancing
co-operation at expert level for the protection of forests worldwide. On the following
pages, you will find some examples of our activities and our various projects.
Wishing you an enjoyable and informative read!
Best regards
Julia Klöckner
Federal Minister for Food and Agriculture

INTRODUC T ION
Projects, which are often pilot schemes, are based on the
principle of ‘conservation through use’. The findings
and results are communicated via publications, work-
shops and follow-on projects to enable as many people
as possible to benefit.
On the project development and implementation side,
BMEL receives technical and administrative support
from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, GFA Consulting Group
GmbH, and the German Federal Office for Agriculture
and Food (BLE). In addition to collaborating with inter-
national organisations, the BMEL implements cooper-
ation projects in the field of food and agriculture with
selected partner countries as part of its bilateral cooper-
ation programme.

policy
In addition to a local forest management, which is
adapted to the respective conditions and requirements,
national and international regulations and agreements
are essential to conserving forests and their diverse
functions and ensuring the sustainable use of
their resources.

INTERNAT IONAL FOREST POL IC Y
Examples of such regulations and agreements at the
international level include the Paris Climate Agree-
ment, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN
sustainability goals laid down in the ‘2030 Agenda’ and
the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests. There
are also bilateral agreements in place, including the
EU’s agreements with key supplier countries to combat
illegal logging, as well as multilateral agreements, such
as those signed by the seven European countries in the
Amsterdam Partnership to promote deforestation-free
supply chains for agricultural products such as palm
oil, soya and cocoa.
BMEL coordinates the German Federal Govern-
ment’s international forest policy; it is a member
of a variety of international bodies concerned with
this issue and is involved in negotiations. The aim of
the German Government in this context is to work
with its EU partners to make international processes
more coherent and to harness potential synergies
when implementing national obligations. Meeting of a working group of the United Forum

(ITTO) is an intergovernmental organisation focused
on the sustainable management and conservation
of tropical forests and the expansion and diversifi-

The ITTO’s focus areas also include the promotion of
small businesses and municipal forest management
as well as the supply chain from sustainably and

Central Asia play a very important role. Since the
early 20th century, the proportion of wooded
areas in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan has decreased
dramatically. Even the remaining juniper forest
fragments are not being used sustainably. Together
with local scientific partners in the two countries,
the aim is to empower forest administrations and
other stakeholders to improve their capacity to act.
A study of the state and distribution of the forests
based on satellite data serves as the foundation for
the project.

teaching materials are being developed for different
class levels. Adapted to the country context, they
integrate the various aspects and advantages of
sustainable forest management into school les-

authorities responsible for education is intended to
ensure that the subject is included in the curricula
in the long term. The experiences and findings of
the two pilot countries will be summarised at the
end of the project and made available worldwide, so
that other countries interested in this concept can
benefit from it as well.
