French term or phrase: 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

Explanation:
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.
