森林管理已被有效地定义为产品的生产、利用和分配，以及进行这些活动的机构或组织安排。森林管理的技术和社会方面都被视为单一系统的一部分。有关森林利用和管理的传统知识在当今的森林管理中仍然发挥着至关重要的作用。这是因为传统做法通常被认为有利于保护和可持续利用。因此，建立一个框架来评估传统知识对当今森林管理的贡献是很有价值的。因此，本文提出了一个基于民族植物学信息的框架，为与传统知识相关的不同变量提出了定量和定性指标。讨论基于我们一直在云南和中国其他省份进行的民族植物学案例研究。
Forest management has been usefully defined in terms of production, utilization and distribution of products, and the institutional or organizational arrangements by which they are carried out. Both technical and social aspects of forest management are treated as parts of a single system. Traditional knowledge of the use and management of forests still has a vital role to play in forest management today. This is because traditional practices are believed to be often favourable towards conservation and sustainable use. It is therefore valuable to establish a framework to evaluate the contribution of traditional knowledge to forest management today. Accordingly, a framework, based on ethnobotanical information, is proposed in this paper, with quantitative and qualitative indicators suggested for different variables relating to traditional knowledge. The discussion is based on ethnobotanical case studies from Yunnan and other provinces of China in which we have been working.
