热带森林砍伐正在导致经济生产木材特许权的丧失，以及具有重要环境或社会文化价值的地区的损失。为了应对东南亚的这一威胁，可持续森林管理(SFM)实践正变得越来越重要。我们评估了为促进可持续森林管理而开发的工具和指南，以及东南亚在更好的伐木实践方面所取得的进展。我们特别关注与生物多样性问题相关的做法。各种区域或国家机制现在向各国政府和木材行业通报减少生产林业对野生动物和森林环境的影响的方法。然而，已经产生了如此多的指导方针，以至于很难判断哪些指导方针最相关。此外，大多数指导方针措辞笼统，缺乏针对当地情况的具体建议。这些可能是该区域采用森林管理做法普遍缓慢的原因，只有少数几个国家将准则纳入国家立法。马来西亚、印度尼西亚和老挝是这一进程的领跑者。总体上取得了进展，特别是在认证方案的应用、高保护价值森林的规划和管理、狩猎的调控和营林管理方面。为了减少进一步的森林损失，有必要加快实施良好的森林管理做法。我们建议政府、林业行业和非政府组织在进一步促进落实森林资源管理措施以保护生物多样性方面发挥具体作用。(简历：导演)
Tropical deforestation is leading to a loss of economically productive timber concessions, as well as areas with important environmental or socio-cultural values. To counteract this threat in Southeast Asia, sustainable forest management (SFM) practices are becoming increasingly important. We assess the tools and guidelines that have been developed to promote SFM and the progress that has been made in Southeast Asia toward better logging practices. We specifically focus on practices relevant to biodiversity issues. Various regional or national mechanisms now inform governments and the timber industry about methods to reduce the impact of production forestry on wildlife and the forest environment. However, so many guidelines have been produced that it has become difficult to judge which ones are most relevant. In addition, most guidelines are phrased in general terms and lack specific recommendations targeted to local conditions. These might be reasons for the generally slow adoption of SFM practices in the region, with only a few countries having incorporated the guidelines into national legislation. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Laos are among the frontrunners in this process. Overall there is progress, especially in the application of certification programs, the planning and management of high conservation value forests, the regulation and control of hunting, and silvicultural management. To reduce further forest loss, there is a need to accelerate the implementation of good forest management practices. We recommend specific roles for governments, the forestry industry, and nongovernmental organizations in further promoting the implementation of SFM practices for biodiversity conservation.
