Abstract

The genetic diversity of forest trees, as provided by Forest Genetic Resources (FGR) and being the basis for the production of Forest Reproductive Material (FRM), is fundamental for maintaining forest resilience, adaptability, health, productivity, and biological diversity. Despite their importance, stakeholder governance of genetic diversity remains under-studied. This study aims to address this gap by mapping the forest stakeholder landscape FGR governance. Using the Quadruple Helix Approach, we categorised stakeholders into academia, industry, government, and civil society identifying relevant sub-communities. The mapping process involved iterative revisions through expert consultations, workshops, and literature scoping. Results show that the FGR sub-community is situated between strict conservation efforts and applied forestry, supporting both genetic conservation and productive forest management. The FRM sub-community, dealing specifically with the production and deployment of FRM, prioritises tree breeding, seed production, and afforestation/reforestation programmes. Meanwhile, the Protected Forests (PF) sub-community focuses on strict nature conservation, advocating minimal human intervention while facing pressures from resource extraction, tourism, and land-use conflicts. The diverging attitudes and values of close-to-nature forest management, intensive forestry, and strict protections, respectively, exist within same stakeholder groups, as well as among different ones, and are spanning all sub-communities. The study uncovers key tensions such as competing land-use priorities between forestry, agriculture, infrastructure and energy sectors, limited flow of knowledge between stakeholder categories and governance misalignments between local, national, and international regulations. The findings are particularly relevant for policymakers, forest managers, forest nurseries, conservation organisations, and industry stakeholders to balance conservation with sustainable forest utilisation. By integrating stakeholder perspectives and highlighting key governance challenges, this study shows where a common ground can be found and where divergent opinions are strong, opening the way for more integrated strategies and policies.
欧洲森林社区利益攸关方参与式制图,重点关注森林遗传资源、森林生殖材料和受保护森林
森林遗传资源(FGR)提供的林木遗传多样性是生产森林生殖材料(FRM)的基础,是维持森林恢复力、适应性、健康、生产力和生物多样性的基础。尽管它们很重要,但利益相关者对遗传多样性的治理仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在通过绘制森林利益相关者景观FGR治理来解决这一差距。使用四螺旋方法,我们将利益相关者分为学术界、工业界、政府和确定相关子社区的民间社会。映射过程包括通过专家咨询、研讨会和文献范围界定的迭代修订。结果表明,FGR亚群落处于严格保护和应用林业之间,支持遗传保护和生产性森林经营。森林资源管理分社区专门处理森林资源管理的生产和部署,优先考虑树木育种、种子生产和造林/再造林方案。与此同时,森林保护区(PF)亚群落侧重于严格的自然保护,在面临资源开采、旅游和土地使用冲突的压力时,提倡尽量减少人为干预。在接近自然的森林经营、集约化的森林经营和严格的保护方面,不同的利益相关者群体之间和不同的利益相关者群体之间存在着不同的态度和价值观,并跨越了所有的子社区。该研究揭示了关键的紧张关系,如林业、农业、基础设施和能源部门之间的土地使用优先权竞争,利益相关者类别之间的知识流动有限,以及地方、国家和国际法规之间的治理失调。这些发现对于政策制定者、森林管理者、森林苗圃、保护组织和行业利益相关者平衡保护与可持续森林利用尤其重要。通过整合利益相关者的观点和突出关键的治理挑战,本研究显示了在哪些方面可以找到共同点,在哪些方面意见分歧很大,从而为制定更综合的战略和政策开辟了道路。
