V) Sustainable forest management: strategies that ensure less clearing, conservation practices, more biodiversity, connectivity among fragments, gene flows, more carbon stored, more income, community organization and empowerment.
Forest recovery intervention (can be applied in order to recover the forest potential use of a specific area and to recover ecosystem function of Legal Reserves and Areas of Permanent Preservation – associated to seedling strategies as bird perches for seed dispersion, protective fences implementation, etc);
- Tree crops for food products;
Collection of native seed for reforestation, including communitarian native seed banks;
Ecological lowering and thinning of foliage (rebaixamento e raleamento) (for fodder and native pasture management);
Enrichment with useful/commercial native species (direct seeding or nursery seedlings)
Non-timber management (f.ex. extraction/management and processing of native fruits -umbu, licuri, maracujá boi etc.)
Timber (woodland) management for fuelwood, charcoal, thin and thick fence posts (including reforestation activities);
Ecological corridors and stepping stones for connectivity (maintenance of biodiversity flows and ecosystems function);
Agroforestry/Agrosilvicultural-pastoral systems (less clearing and degradation, more biodiversity, more carbon storage, diversification of income).
