Concept information
Preferred term
social forestry
Definition
- Social forestry belongs in the same category with terms such as community forestry, joint forest management (JFM), and farm forestry, but it is not synonymous with them. The term social forestry was first used by Jack Westoby in his address to the Ninth Commonwealth Forestry Congress at Delhi, India, in 1968—“Changing Objectives of Forest Management”—and subsequently at the 1978 Eighth World Forestry Congress in Jakarta, Indonesia.
