Abstract

Sustainable forest management means the environmentally appropriate,
socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests for present
and future generations.
The forest ecosystem is highly complex and influenced by numerous external
factors. Criteria for sustainable forests management must be constantly
adapted to new circumstances: they must reflect the national context and the
specific ecological and environmental conditions, as well as social, economic,
political, cultural and spiritual dimensions. 70% of 38.6 million Kenyans in the
rural areas depend on forests for livelihood. Wildlife based tourism contribute
10% to the Kenya’s GDP and is the third largest foreign exchange earner after
Tea and horticulture (National Tourism Police, 2006). In the power sector, 51%
of the country’s electricity is derived from hydrogenation that is dependent on
our waters and rivers (Kenya Vision 2030) over 80% of people in Kenya rely on
plants as primary sources of medicine.( Testing and Selecting Criteria and
Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management Ravi Prabhu, Carol J. P. Colfer
