| Tiivistelmä: | This paper presents a policy framework aimed at sustainability in Australia's wood-based industry. The essence of the forest (henceforth as: f./fs.) problem lies in the nature of commodity production where cost reduction, essential for the firm's survival, comes at the expense of native f. ecological integrity. The framework explicitly includes Australia's plantation wood resource that, by definition, is excluded from the 'multiple use' approach to managing native fs. for wood production. Three systems are identified: native fs. as self-regenerating ecosystems, wood production systems to meet human material needs and rural socio-economic systems, and a dual strategy developed to enhance their persistence capacity. |
