Landscapes Policy Framework

Policy, if sufficently inclusive, consultative and consistent, can become the keystone of integrated and holistic landscape governance.  Overcoming silos, even those that exist in policy circles, is an essential step in reconciling the needs, rights and aspirations of different sectors and communities.  For government, this may involve more regulatory intervention or, in other cases, a willingness to let issues find resolution in local contexts freed of overbearing administration.  (Sustainable forest management)
