Assessment of Cambodian forest concession management planning based on criteria and indicators of Montreal

Forest fragmentation results because the spatial scales of resource extraction do not match the scales of natural disturbance that shaped the evolution of the landscape. Tropical deforestation was still proceeding at 14.2 million hectares per annum in the 1990s, and only 5.5 % of all forest in developing countries was under formal management plans in the year 2000. The Cambodian tropical forests contain partly continuous tropical forest in the world. However, it has suffered serious deforestation 0.6 % annually since the last 30 years because of road- building, logging, mining, mismanagement- decision, and agricultural raising expansion. This paper aims at scaling and forecasting the problem in Cambodian forest concession management to fulfill the gape of sustainable forest management decision. To scale and forecast problems of forest management, we used data from CFC company in Cambodia to compare the modern forest management Montreal criteria. The work responds to the need to assess progress toward sustainable forest management as established by the Montreal Process of Criterion 2 and its Indicators. The focus is on a single criterion ( commonly referred to as indicator 10 to 14) , which addresses the "maintenance of th
