Sustainable Forestry: From Monitoring and Modelling to Knowledge Management and Policy Science

Policy is not only an authoritative choice of values, it is also a representation of a particular way of seeing and understanding the world. Forest policy rests first on a definition of a ‘forest’ and is based upon a set of assumptions about the purpose of forests, the nature of forests and the p...

Sustainable Forestry: From Monitoring and Modelling to Knowledge Management and Policy Science
description Policy is not only an authoritative choice of values, it is also a representation of a particular way of seeing and understanding the world. Forest policy rests first on a definition of a ‘forest’ and is based upon a set of assumptions about the purpose of forests, the nature of forests and the place of forests in the natural and social world. But whose assumptions underpin forest policy? What role do scientists play in defining and selecting how we think about forests? The values expressed in forest policy are generally understood to be ones of economic, political (read power), social and cultural origins. We understand forest policy to vary across countries and cultures and even within smaller regions or particular places due to differences in the valuation of forest resources. However, a critical role of science is to create representations of the world so that we can talk about what we see, hear, smell, taste and experience. These representations – theories, concepts, hypotheses, axioms, laws and so on – are often viewed by scientists to be ‘reality’. However, reality is a bit more elusive – it is perceived through our ideas and science is only one source of these ideas.
