摘要：
The sustainable management of forests fundamentally depends on the choices that people make, shaped by perceptions of the relative importance of forest-related environmental, economic, social and cultural values. Current approaches to forestry education at all levels, including public education, places a strong emphasis on the biophysical and economic aspects of forest ecosystems, forest management and utilization of forest products. While these are essential, they may not be sufficient to ensure strong public support and enthusiasm for forest conservation and sustainable utilization of wood and non-wood forest products. In this presentation, I will make a case for a greater emphasis on the social factors, as well as the cultural and spiritual motivations that affect how people view forests and their management in different socioecological contexts. Such an expanded understanding of the diversity of beliefs and perspectives that motivate people to appreciate and value (or not) the multiple goods and services that forest and trees provide can improve our forest conservation and management actions as well as enhance public education and long-term support for sustainable forest management.
