The Fiji REDD+ policy aligns itself with the forest sector goal on sustainable forest management that means a balanced focus on all the seven thematic elements of sustainable forest management which includes: the extent of our forest cover; biological diversity; forest health and vitality; productive functions of forests; protective functions of forests; socio economic functions of forests; and its legal, policy and institutional framework. It also supports the vision in the Forest Policy broadly stated as: “Sustainable well being and prosperity from diversified Forests”. This is based on “The need to overcome the sector’s current focus on timber production and to widen the perspective to a balanced attention to the multiple economic, ecological and social values of Fiji’s forest resources” covering the various thematic areas of sustainable forest management. The Fiji REDD+ policy therefore poses an additional excellent opportunity for Fiji to conserve its forests and at the same time benefit from the continued environmental services from the standing forests, including other benefits through the conservation of its forest biodiversity. The Fiji REDD-Plus Programme aims to have Fiji achieve national REDD-Readiness by 2012 and provide a framework to facilitate access to all available financing instruments for the REDD sector.
