TASK E (continued)
IFMAT I – 1993 II – 2003 III - 2013
Recommendation Implementation Status
Recommendations in Response to Task E Findings
Coordinated Resource Management Planning and IRMPs (continued)
ITARA authorizes tribes to implement tribal law, regulations, and procedures for management of their forests. To participate in the ITARA demonstration project tribes must have an approved FMP. Vetting and approval of the FMP by tribal leadership provides process for defining the tribal vision for the forest and achieving a balanced stewardship management approach.
Reward tribes that demonstrate capacity for and commitment to forest and natural resource management and stewardship that meets balanced cultural, social, environmental and economic goals as vetted by tribal leadership, such as through an approved FMP, by enabling such tribes to establish and implement their own rules and procedures as sovereign, self-determining nations. (Recommendation E2, page 160)
III
Cross Boundary Collaboration and Co-Management
Use TFPA to work with federal agencies and collaborate with state forest agencies to dedicate sufficient federal forest or state land within economically feasible haul distance for sustainable timber supply to augment tribal forest supply and form the combined anchor forest for local employment and manufacturing of forest products. (Recommendation E5, page 161) Build upon the anchor forest concept to explore the creation of “anchor plant, fish, and wildlife management areas” on federal lands to secure treaty rights on ceded lands that have suffered due to historic or current management practices on those areas. (Recommendation E6, page 161)
Not addressed in follow-up implementation.
