Kursets målsætning
The aim of the course is to give students a thorough understanding of the current and potential role of forests and trees in improving rural livelihoods. The course gives an overview of main issues in tropical forestry. It is stressed that forestry is an integral part of society and should not be considered in isolation.
 
Kursusindhold
Emphasis is on political and socio-economic aspects of sustainable multi-purpose forest management in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Central themes are tropical forest resources, forest policy and forest management in relation to the production of timber, non-timber products and environmental services. Subjects include the extent and value of tropical forest resources, deforestation, global forest policy processes, national level forest legislation and policy, and forest management planning.
 
Undervisningsform
1. E-learning (e-modules): internet-based teaching modules integrating literature studies and exercises. Exercises relate to theory (multiple-choice and free-text exercises) and case studies (free text exercises only). Some case-study exercises are to be submitted to the teaching staff who will give students feedback comments. E-learning will be supported by on-line discussion fora in which students are expected to participate. 2. In addition, a number of presentations, analyses and discussions of selected topics and cases as well as e-learning support may be offered as classroom sessions. 3. Each student must prepare and submit a paper (individually or as part of a group).
