Not in practice. It only takes one economic downturn, or one opportunistic local governement to loosen the reigns, for that forest to be gone in months. This is what has been happening all over Europe over the last decade.
- perrygeo 3y ago> one opportunistic local governement to loosen the reigns Absolutely true, which is why I emphasized "intensive management on a small scale". This is rather unlike current forest governance schemes which are mostly "industrial management on a large scale". Honestly, to do this right, you'd need a huge cultural shift towards living and working in a rural forest, along with direct local control and long-term strategic management. Which describes some forest-dwelling cultures of the past but very few today.
