Community Forest Transfer Albania Private Forestry Development Program. Final Report

摘要

The Albania Private Forestry Development Program fielded a community organization specialist from January 23 through March 7, 1998 to assist in launching implementation of community forest transfer, in which forest estate management is decentralized from central state ministerial control to komunas and then on to villages. Albania has little experience with community forestry, whose premise is forestry based on people rather than on trees. Community forestry transfer requires adding the dimension of community-based management of common property resources.
