Donors, including the EU and Member States, can give greater weight to these initiatives by providing support to community-based forest management, by helping to propagate lessons from these schemes in national laws and policies, and by working with partner governments to ensure that key underlying factors, such as land tenure and access to forest resources, encourage local participation in the fight against illegal logging.

Firstly, it is important to have an overview of the scale of Commission activities concerning indigenous peoples, and the different instruments involved. Between 1998 and 2000, EUR 21.9 million was allocated to projects directly benefiting indigenous peoples, from budget lines including, B7-6000 (NGO Co-financing), B7-6200, B7-6201 and B7-8110 (Environment and tropical forests), B7-7 (EIDHR-Democracy and human rights) and the ECHO budget line B7-210.

Particular consideration, however, will be given to operations that promote the following: (a) conservation of primary tropical forests and their biodiversity and renewal of tropical forests which have been damaged, supported by analysis of the underlying causes of deforestation and taking into account differences between countries and regions and measures to address them; (b) sustainable management of forests designated for the production of timber and other products, but excluding commercial logging operations in primary tropical forests, except those which are community-based, on a small scale, sustainable, environmentally sound and ...[+++]implementing sustainable forest management; (c) the definition and development of certification systems, combined with independent assessment systems, for timber produced from tropical forests according to sustainable forest management principles as part of internationally harmonized certification systems envisaged for all kinds of timber and timber products; (d) provision of prior information to forest peoples, followed by their support for the identification, planning and implementation of actions; (e) capacity-building to address the needs for training schemes for local populations, forest managers and researchers, for legislation, for increased political and social support and institutional strengthening and for organizations and associations active in forest conservation; (f) a strategic and adapted research policy aimed at supplying the knowledge required for the conservation and sustainable management of forests and also for the implementation of research monitoring activities in the framework of projects and programmes; (g) development of buffer zones to assist the conservation or regeneration of tropical forests, as part of a broader land utilization plan; (h) development and implementation of forest management plans aimed at conserving tropical forests and promoting sustainable exploitation of timber and other forest ...
