Unité Forestière d'Aménagement (UFA)

Bonjour,

Le Cahier des charges est rattaché à une ou plusieurs Unités Forestières de Gestion (UFG) de l’Unité Forestière d’Aménagement (UFA) ou de la concession forestière dont il dépend.

Unités Forestières de Gestion = forest management units
Que seront alors les Unités Forestières d'Aménagement? Forest Development Units (FDU)?


Merci de votre aide

Now since two different terms are used so it can be distinguished as
Firstly, it is better to keep the terms in French and explain the meaning in brackets
Unité Forestière d\'Aménagement (Forest Management Unit Development (regional level): FMU) which are subdivided into
Unités Forestières de Gestion (forest management units or subunits)

Thanks - but how will you then translate UFG?
I meant FMU for UFG.

Forest Management Unit (FMU)

I'd suggest translating Unité Forestière de Gestion as Forest Management Subunit, since I think it is a subdivision of the Forest Management Unit. What country does your text refer to?

http://pdf.wri.org/interactive_forestry_atlas_gabon_fr.pdf

Unité Forestière de Gestion (UFG)
La série de production de l’UFA est divisée en Unités forestières de Gestion (UFG). Une UFG correspond à cinq (5) assiettes annuelles de coupe (AAC), et la durée de la rotation est nécessairement un multiple de cinq. Chaque UFG fera l’objet d’un plan de gestion.
