Description

The performance of foresters has been indicated as one of the keys to successful promotion and dissemination of community forestry; however, majority of previous studies in Cambodia have described the works and activities performed by community forestry members and their achievements to reveal its status and issues. It is absolutely imperative to include the performance of foresters in the analysis of the status and challenges and prospects of community forestry in Cambodia from other experienced countries on their roles in community forestry implementation and a structured interview with community forestry members to identify the status of the assistance received from foresters for the implementation of community forestry. The results of these analyses revealed that though the foresters are expected to act as coordinators and facilitators as well as supervisors of rural people, they lack the understanding on their roles. In addition, because of the low involvement of general members and poor function of community forestry in the field. There is an urgent need to educate foresters on the social aspects of community forestry.
