(viii)Promote and maintain the greening of the urban environment while meeting the increasing demand for forest products by urban and peri-urban centers. (ix)Ensure improved land tenure system and land use act/plan as incentives for individuals and communities in particular to invest in forestry.(x)Help private owners and communities to reserve land for forestry.(xi)Build capacity and systems for the state and local government to engage actively in forest resources management and development.(xii) Provide enabling environment (legal and regulatory) that promote long term private sector forestry investment.(xiii)Develop partnerships or management agreement with local communities that improve forest management and alleviate poverty.(xiv)Strengthen synergy and collaboration with NGOs and CBOs in facilitating forest development.(xv)Develop and promote responsive, affordable, well-informed and decentralized forestry advisory services to farmers, communities and the forest industry.(xvi)Develop and support demand driven, well-coordinated forestry research and training programmes.(xvii)Develop a forest sector programme that complements programmes in related sectors.Priority Areas of the Forest PolicyPolices are implemented through design and execution of programmes. The Cross River State Forest Policy lays special emphasis on thirty priority areas as the principal elements of the policy. These are:(i)Forest Management(ii)Community Participation: in and outside Forest and Game Reserves(iii)Private, Civil society, Multilateral/donor Agencies Involvement and Participation in Forest Development(iv)Biodiversity Conservation, National Parks and Game Reserves of Conservation Interest(v)Forest Industries(vi)Forest Administration(vii)Non-Timber Forest Products(viii)Ecosystem Services of Forests(ix)Watershed Forests and Wetland Management(x)Agroforestry(xi)Urban Forestry(xii)Poverty Alleviation and Food Security(xiii)Supply of Seeds and Seedlings(xiv)Forestry Research and Development(xv)Forest Fiscal Policy(xvi)Forest Fires(xvii)Pests and Diseases Control(xviii) Tree Planting Campaign(xix)Fuelwood(xx)Drought and Desertification Control(xxi)Employment, Safety and Security of Personnel and Habitat(xxii)Gender Issues(xxiii)Youth Programme(xxiv)Manpower Development, Training and Capacity Building(xxv)Education and Awareness Creation(xxvi)Information and Data Base Management(xxvii)Land Tenure and Conflict Resolution(xxviii)Trade (Internal and External)(xxix)Sectoral Cooperation(xxx)National and International Cooperation(xxxi)Forest Sector Investment(Xxxii) Mining and oil drilling (Xxxiii) Wildlife management in and outside protected areasUnsustainable loggingGovernment shall encourage sustainable management and utilization of forest resources that will guarantee the continuous supply of raw materials and profit to the forest industries.-develop strategies for waste reduction and utilization at all stages of industrial activities.- enhance the value of forest products through forest certification. -engage the use of trained personnel and appropriate forest harvesting tools and equipment(ii)insist on appropriate forest harvesting with low impact logging techniques using appropriate equipment and technology, log transportation and haulage system to minimize damage and waste in the residual stands and prevent erosion(iv)reduce illegal forest activities through effective education, policing and forest protection through strict enforcement for compliance with the forest management plan.
68872994Cross River StateNigeriaAfrica7. Forest7.8aPlease provide details of your region's forests-related policies.6Policy description and region’s role in its enforcement2Government shall in collaboration with host communities and development partners where possible support the establishment and sustenance of woodlots through the provision of quality and improved seedlings and stumps for planting, and other incentives. Government shall encourage the development and distribution of fuel-efficient cook stove within the state and beyond to ensure sustainable utilization of fuelwood.
