 PRODUCED
 FINANCIAL
- 41 Financing projects
English
Projects can be financed either through private or public funding from either domesitic or foreign
sources. This fact sheet
concentrates on the options available for funding from the main international agencies and some of the
bilateral
organisations. A greater range of financing mechanisms will be available in the future linked to the
various international
commitments being made to protect the planet from the pollution.
- 13 Forest economics: logging - costs, profits and revenue
English
These notes outline how the Government of Guyana should charge private logging companies for the use
of state forest.
The principles, and indeed practices, are common to most developing countries with a logging industry.
Charges accruing
to government must cover the services provided and contribute to the development of the forest resource
in particular and
the nation in general. At the same time the companies must be allowed to make a fair profit.
INFORMATION
- 37 The real office - filing
English
Good office administration is an essential part of any organisation or project. The degree to
which this is done will reflect
on the effectiveness of the organisation and the people involved in its work. In this factsheet
we lay-out points in setting up
and running of a good file system. The amount of detail used in a filing system will be dependent
on the size and/or
complexity of an organisation or project.
- 100 How to write a satudy-note
English
Some guidelines originally written for NRI staff.
- Fxx Course Colours and Symbols
Colours, symbols, abbreviations, pictures and diagrams can be useful in helping to understand and remember
information and relate ideas.
Throughout the Managing Forests: Managing Change, we have used them as described below.
- 86 Guidelines for producing team reports
English
Documents, such as forest sector reviews and project memoranda, which are produced by a team are often
too long,
repetitious and unclear. The team leader must provide the team with clear guidelines on how to produce
their contributions.
Often team members cannot be present together, and the leader is thus also responsible for the synthesis
of the information
into a concise, clear format. These guidelines aim to help team leaders to produce high quality
reports. They are applicable
to most joint reports.
TECHNICAL
- 10 Seeing the wood from the trees
English
If you have difficulty visualizing the world consumption of wood, how fast a forest grows, or what 100
mm of rain looks
like, this fact-sheet may help. The examples and diagrams can help picture measurements of height, basal
area, volume,
stand density, yield per unit area, etc., both for averages and extremes. Quantities are represented
by lines, squares, cubes
and dots. The vertical scale of the hectare square is 9/10th the horizontal scale, so as to give a perspective.
The tree log
diagram has three scales. Weight can be visualized if the specific gravity is known. For water (SG =
1.0), cubic metres can
be substituted directly by metric tonnes.
- 94 Télédétection
French
La télédétection est la faculté de détecter des objets, des phénomènes ou des faits, à distance. La
vue et l'ouïe sont les
instruments -naturels- de télédétection que nous utilisons le plus. Cependant, d'autres moyens, technologiques
ceux-là,
donnent à la télédétection une ampleur et une portée bien plus grandes. Dans cette fiche technique,
nous restreindrons le
terme de télédétection à l'utilisation de satellites pour l'observation de la Terre. Nous en verrons
différentes possibilités
d'application dans le domaine de la foresterie. Notons au passage que la photographie aérienne, bien
que non reprise ici,
est également largement utilisée dans le domaine de la gestion des ressources forestières
- 94b Télédétection (illustr)
- 93 Système d’Information Géographique (SIG/GIS)
French
La plupart des gestionnaires forestiers auront, d’une manière ou d’une autre, affaire à un Système d’Information
Géographique, ou SIG. Typiquement, les SIG sont des systèmes assez complexes, incluant un certain nombre
d’ordinateurs liés en réseau, des imprimantes de plans (plotters), des écrans larges, des tables à digitalisation,
organisés en
unités spécialisées et gérées par des professionnels consacrés à cela. Cependant, un SIG n’est pas forcément
tout ça. Il est
possible de faire fonctionner un SIG sur n’importe quel ordinateur personnel de bureau, et de l’utiliser
sans forcément en
être un expert. Ce cours cherche à démystifier les SIG, et à démontrer leur utilité dans la gestion
des ressources forestières.
