The second and last conference of today (Adaptation and Sustainable Management for U.S. Forests) was presented by Dave Cleaves (U.S. Forest Service). He talked about how the U.S. Forest Service is using to implement a new road map for climate change across all U.S. National Forests, providing a useful organizational structure for adaptation in forest ecosystems throughout the world.
APMR (Masonic Press Agency of Romania) inquired Mr. Cleaves about the policy of the Republic of Gabon regarding forests (Gabon covers a total area of 268,000 square kilometers. Forests cover an estimated 220,000 square kilometers. Gabon’s population of 1.2 million is mainly urban (73%). Until 1970s, Gabon’s economy was largely dependent on its forests, which contributed 75% of its export earnings. Our question is how can a country such Gabon have a better policy regarding forests then other more developed countries or multinational political entities such as European Union? And when talking about Gabon we do not talk necessary about national education, but governmental national policies. Will be such countries affected more by climate change then others in the future?).
Dave Cleaves said that everything depends on a balance, the ratio of urban population to rural population, etc. There are issues in the short and long term. Everything depends on the various reports.
