Synopsis (short abstract) The sustainable forest management (SFM) knowledge reference is an effort by the Forestry Department (FO) of FAO to create a repository of information on SFM with the aim of enhancing experiencesharing and addressing the principles of SFM among countries with the intention of creating a network between different stakeholders, including forest managers, researchers and decision makers. The SFM knowledge reference is a database composed of case studies on SFM of various sizes with a range of management objectives from all regions and biomes. These case studies may be described from FAO experiences and/or projects as well as from partner organizations. Through this online repository, users will have the possibility of easily accessing successful and practical examples of SFM in a range of biomes, from temperate to tropical, and with a variety of management objectives, from conservation to production. Users will eventually be able to search among a variety of fields (e.g. tree taxa, land tenure, location, country, eco-zone) to narrow down case studies of interest. By making these global case studies of SFM more available and accessible, the SFM knowledge reference will not only allow for improved networking and experience-sharing, but will ultimately enhance the applicability of SFM concepts to new locations, leading to improved implementation of SFM on the ground where it counts. This working paper represents a progress “report” since the database cont inues to be fed with information from other case studies as they are identified.
