The main objective of sustainable forest management is to meet
the needs and aspirations of the current generation without
damaging future generations. Preventing local people from overutilizing
forests has proven unsuccessful in top-down type
governmental forest policies due to the difficulties of monitoring
and enforcement (see, e.g., Arnold,1991; Mather,1992). Thus, forest
management policies have shifted toward people-oriented management
and the provision of a continuous flow of multiple benefits.
This trend has been supported by scientists (see, e.g., Franklin,
1995; Malla, 1997). In this regard, forest management authorities
have placed the highest priority on participatory forest programs,
which encourage local communities to voluntarily get involved in
the management of forest resources to protect, manage, and
develop forests in a sustainable way.
