Guidance on land use for forest land
| Land use | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Native forest (non-degraded) | Represents native or long-term, non-degraded and sustainably managed forest. |
| Shifting cultivation | Permanent shifting cultivation, where tropical forest or woodland is cleared for planting of annual crops for a short time (e.g. 3-5 years) period and then abandoned to regrowth. |
| Mature fallow | Represents situations where the forest vegetation recovers to a mature or near mature state prior to being cleared again for cropland use. |
