- W2288891023 abstract "Based on a practical case-study, the Central Karakorum National Park - Gilgit-Baltistan - Pakistan, the aim of the thesis is to present a methodological framework for promoting the sustainable forest management in mountain areas characterized by remoteness, difficulties of access and where few data are available.Forest resources of Karakorum Mountains assume an essential role for the livelihoods of local communities, heavily dependent on wood for heating, cooking and construction purposes. However, uncontrolled and long lasting anthropogenic pressures (as grazing, high firewood necessities, increase in population) have slowly but continuously degraded forest resources, posing threats to their conservation. Paradoxically, this has been exacerbated by mismanagement, lack of forest inventories and lack of community involvement, consequence of a strong top-down and centralized governance of natural resources.The development of a sustainable and participatory forest management plan based on sound scientific data can be therefore considered both a priority and an innovative approach. Even if the whole work was completed in a single protected area, the issues under investigation, the problems encountered and the methodologies applied to solve them are similar in many other mountains of developing countries.To reach this objective, the research has been divided into three main areas of investigation.The first relates to the spatial quantification of resources availability and involved the development of a land cover map of the Park area and an assessment of Park’s forests in terms of above ground biomass and current annual increment. This was achieved using satellite images and field plots.The second investigation included activities aimed at assessing local communities’ livelihood options and their use of forest resources. We organized focus groups in 24 villages of 9 valleys with the double objective of collecting information and stimulate discussion about management plan issues.Finally, to increase locals’ capacity in forest management related activities, two reforestation initiatives, which included all steps from seeds collection to seeding and seedlings protection from browsing, were organized.In the last chapter of the thesis the preliminary Central Karakorum National Park management indications are summarized" @default.
