The Regional Community Forestry
Training Center for Asia and the Pacific (RECOFTC) offers a range of
international training courses and study tours on community based natural
resource management topics. The courses and study tours build upon the
experience of participants' and then extends their skills and knowledge by
exploring the issues at hand through case study exploration and analysis,
field visits to sites highlighting on-ground realities, presentations by
invited specialists, and the development of personalized 'action plans'.
This powerful mix of information will be presented within a highly
interactive, participatory learning environment of discussion, synthesis
and reflection. RECOFTC has a new approach to training for the upcoming
year. In 2007, training and study tours will be delivered on demand, and
customized for clients’ needs, rather than the former open subscription
system. Read more about this here

Reduced Impact Logging (RIL). Forestry
Training Centre Inc., Guyana. The idea is to introduce the concept of
RIL in a holistic manner and one effective way of doing this is by
exposing the decision makers to RIL demonstrations in the forest. The
short course is offered upon request and recent experience with the course
indicates that the meeting of officers from the national forest
authorities and field managers from the logging companies in a forest
setting is extremely fruitful. RIL usually triggers passionate
discussions: for example, whether RIL is practical and whether it may be
viable under the specific local conditions. It emerged that the
discussions on the merits and practicality of RIL, under forest
conditions, create ideal conditions for participants’ understanding of RIL
concepts. Topics that are normally discussed in offices for hours are
easier to manage when discussed under actual forest conditions. In
addition to the technical aspects, discussions between the forest
authorities and those who work in the forest promote a shared
understanding of practical forest management. For more information on this
particular course as well as another 16 courses and training manuals,
please contact the management of the Forest Training Centre Inc: Peter van
der Hout: <pvdhout@guyana.net.gy>
