Información sobre el proyecto/actividad

This pre-project has been developed in response to the conclusions and recommendations made on PD 32/94 Rev.1 (F,I) by the ninth ITTO Expert Panel. The panel recommended that a pre-project proposal be formulated incorporating the suggested modifications. The pre-project should include a brief summary of the 1984 Donoso Forest Inventory prepared by JICA/INRENARE, a biodiversity inventory, and a socio-economic study. Furthermore, the pre-project should result in the development of a project proposal to be submitted to ITTO for the management of the Donoso forest with community involvement.

The final output of this pre-project will be a Forest Development Plan for the Donoso District, covering a total area of 50,000 ha. The Forest Development Plan will propose viable alternatives for sustainable (primary or secondary) natural forests, incorporating measures to lessen the environmental impact of the activities to be implemented and to strengthen community participation.
