- Summary:
-
Reinventing forestry institutions is fraught with perils and pitfalls, targets and intents, but all institutions must travel this path if they are to remain relevant in the flux and flow of the modern world. With new prescriptions for conservation and wider changes in society and its demands on forests, the institutions responsible for forest management must compete with and complement other sectoral interests to prove their worth to society. Institutional restructuring or "reinvention" may be necessary to grasp opportunities and deny failure its chance. Experiences of reinvention from nine forestry institutions in eight countries are included in this publication - China, India, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, the United States of America and Viet Nam. The breadth of experience in restructuring these and other forestry institutions is summarized in additional papers. It is hoped that other institutions contemplating reinvention will benefit through better understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities inherent in reinventing forestry agencies.
