Abstract

Objectives: To conserve mountain forests, extend them where necessary and improve their stability. Summary of provisions: Parties agree to, inter alia, manage mountain forests in an environmentally sound and sustainable way and integrate these goals into other policies (art. 2). Territorial communities are to be associated in the elaboration of mountain forest policies and in their implementation (art. 3), and Parties are to ensure international and transfrontier co-operation in the management of mountain forests (art. 5). Specific measures relating to special functions of mountain forests are provided in Chapter II. Natural forest reserves are to be established (art. 10). Parties further agree to, inter alia, promote research in and comparative observation of mountain forests in the Alpine area, inform people and train forest owners in conformity with the objectives of the Protocol (art. 13 and 14). Institutional mechanisms: Through the Standing Committee of the Alpine Convention, the Alpine Conference is to review the implementation of the Protocol and make recommendations if necessary (art. 16).
