300 years of sustainability? (Essay) Largely thanks to the Industrial Revolution, our forefathers stopped the massacre of the forests and rebuilt them from the ruins. This was not “sustainable development”. Of course the concept of sustainable development includes the rules of wise management of natural resources. But how to achieve the value added which will make it possible to develop our forest heritage on a sustainable basis? In the conditions which prevail now in Switzer-land, most forest owners are losing money. They can only survive by producing high quality wood, thanks, among other things to silviculture which respects nature. This presupposes effective coordination with the various users of forests and a coherent policy to manage the forest and the wood it produces. Hoping that the “Coming Age of Wood” is not a utopian vision, let us, today, work to get the best value from our beautiful forests. This is possible with sustainable forest management.

Kerinci is one of regency with the large forest, but sub sector of forestry contributes only 0,04% of GDPKerinci Regency. It’s may possibly by the weakness of forest management and policy of Kerinci RegencyGovernment. Forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerinci establishment is one of govermentefforts to achieve sustainable forest management. Therefore, we need research with purpose: (1) to analyzethe role of forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerinci in the regional development ofKerinci Regency; (2) to analyze the institutional of forest production management unit (KPHP) ModelKerinci; (3) to analyze region’s readiness forest production management unit (KPHP) Model Kerincidevelopment. The study was conducted in Kerinci Regency. Data were analyzed by total economic value(TEV), institutional analysis, and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the totaleconomic value of natural resources of KPHP Model Kerinci is Rp. 337.839.832.400 in a year, it’s meanthat sub sector of forestry potentially to contribute about 8,38% of GDP Kerinci Regency. To realize thetotal economic values of natural resources of KPHP Model Kerinci, it needs strong institutions.

The implementation of todays forest management that based on formal-scientific knowledge and technical knowledge seems to fail to protect the forest from deforestation and the environmental damage. Decolonialisation of western knowledge could give an opportunity to identify and find the knowledge and practices of indigenous people in sustainable forest management. Forest management based on the indigenous knowledge and practices is believed easy to be accepted by the indigenous community due to the knowledge and practice is known and ‘lived’ by them. The Atoni Pah Meto from West Timor has their own customary law in forest management that is knows as Bunuk. In the installation of Bunuk, there is a concencus among the community members to protect and preserve the forest through the vow to the supreme one, the ruler of the earth and the ancestors, thus, bunuk is becoming a le’u (sacred). Thus, the Atoni Meto will not break the bunuk due to the secredness. Adapting the bunuk to the modern forest management in the Atoni Meto areas could be one of the best options in protecting and preserving the forest.

Are there any common patterns in the transition processes from traditional and more or less sustainable forest management to exploitative use, which can regularly be observed both in central Europe and in the countries of the South (e.g. India or Indonesia)? Attempts were made with a time-space-model to typify those force fields, in which traditional sustainable forest management is undermined and is then transformed into a modern type of sustainable forest management. Although it is unlikely that the history of the North will become the future of the South, the glimpse into the northern past offers a useful starting point for the understanding of the current situation in the South, which in turn could stimulate the debate on development. For instance, the patterns which stand behind the conflicts on forest use in the Himalayas are very similar to the conflicts in the Alps. In the same way, the impact of socio-economic changes on the environment – key word ‹globalisation› – is often much the same. To recognize comparable patterns can be very valuable because it can act as a stimulant for the search of political, legal and technical solutions adapted to a specific situation. For the global community the realization of the way political-economic alliances work at the head of the ‹globalisationwave›can only signify to carry on trying to find a common language and understanding at the negotiation tables. On the lee side of the destructive breaker it is necessary to conserve and care for what survived. As it was the case in Switzerland these forest islands could once become the germination points for the genesis of a cultural landscape, where close-to-nature managed forests will constitute an essential element.

A group of international experts evaluated whether the aims and instruments of Swiss forest policy are suitable for the promotion of sustainable forest management based on the pan-European criteria. Approach and main results are presented as well as the method developed for the definition of sustainability indicators as an instrument for the evaluation of sectoral policies and the possibility of a transfer of methods and indicators on an international level.
