Biodiversité et gestion forestière

The decade 2000 saw confirming, not only at the semantic but also operational level, the long-sustainable forest management. Following the Grenelle of the environment, an agreement was concluded between the foresters and FNE, established on the principle of the multifeature of the French forest, with two concomitant objectives, from consideration strengthened by the biodiversity and by the implementation of an active forest management allowing to supply to the society more wood material and renewable source of energy. This agreement also makes reference to joint territorial declensions, to initiative of the elected representatives, to fault the forest charters of territory, or professionals of the forest upstream, through the plans of development of massif. The big national orientations must be translated, understood and adapted indeed to the closest to the ground. This new dynamics echos the development of the certification, as well by surfaces members as by the process of dialogue which it favors between the various actors who feel concerned by the forest and its management. The foresters and the stakeholders so share the big objectives of forest policy, even if some regrets appear in front of demands of intensification of protection. Indeed, the documents of management, approved by the State, synthesize all the elements concurrent in the implementation of a sustainable management, without that it is a priori necessary need to turn to other tools, so as to recognize their role integrator... This article tries, having brushed certain evolutions of the forest management, having to show the importance of the dialogue and the necessary recognition of the services returned by the forest and the foresters, for decade to come.
