Raba gozdov v primerjavi z varstvom gozdov

Gozdovi družbi zagotavljajo številne storitve, od proizvodnje lesa do ohranjanja biotske raznovrstnosti in uravnavanja podnebja.

Vendar pa lahko različne zahteve ali poudarek na posameznih storitvah povzročijo navzkrižja interesov. Da bi zagotovili trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi, zagotavljanje dragocenih ekosistemskih storitev in dolgoročno ohranjanje biotske raznovrstnosti, moramo svoje odločitve sprejemati na podlagi najboljših razpoložljivih podatkov in znanstvenih spoznanj ter upoštevati morebitne kompromisne rešitve. Pri projektu MULTIPLIERS bodo učenci sodelovali z znanstveniki, gozdarji, upravljavci varstva narave in drugimi pomembnimi akterji. Praktično usposabljanje bo potekalo na primer na demonstracijskih mestih s tako imenovanimi marteloskopi, kjer bo mogoče v okviru usposabljanja in izobraževalnih vaj v gozdu raziskati ekološko in ekonomsko vrednost dreves. Ti primeri iz resničnega življenja bodo povečali zavzetost in pripravljenost/sposobnost učencev za razpravo o zapletenih temah in kompromisih, za sprejemanje odločitev na podlagi gospodarskih, ekoloških, kulturnih in družbenih pogledov na gozdove, za iskanje kompromisov in za razvijanje različnih poti za ukrepanje. Ta dejavnost bo najprej potekala na Švedskem, pozneje pa je načrtovana tudi v Nemčiji

Same trees, different perspectives: using a marteloscope to present forests in a new light

Feb 22, 2024

What do you see when you look at a forest? The first, obvious answer could be “trees”, but the more nuanced reality is that forests have different meanings and values to different people. Trees provide important habitats to animals, such as cavities for bats to sleep in and branches for birds to build their nests …
