The first part of the sourcebook contains seven chapters covering topics associated with enhancing the contribution of forests to poverty reduction, engaging the private sector, meeting the growing demand for forest products, optimizing forest functions at the landscape level, improving forest governance, mainstreaming forest considerations into macro-policy dialogue, and monitoring forest sector activities. The second part provides guidance for implementing the World Bank's safeguard on forests. A brief introduction to the World Bank's Forests Policy (OP4.36) is provided, followed by a discussion of the main requirements of OP4.36, guidelines for implementation, definitions and guidance on identifying critical forests and critical natural habitats through environmental assessment which includes a discussion on protecting forests through conservation offsets. There is a section on consultation and communication in forest projects as well as a discussion on the Forest Certification Assessment Guide and the World Bank's Indigenous Peoples policy.
