This document aims to help you, as a stakeholder, to improve forest management in FSC certified forests, on a local level, by using existing FSC procedures. The document outlines opportunities for collaboration in the case of local forests in the process of gaining FSC-certification or certified forests apparently not complying with the required FSC Principles and Criteria (P&C). With its balanced three chamber system in the governance structure the FSC-system is somewhat unique. Stakeholders are invited to participate in the development and review of national forest certification standards. It is not only in the governance structure that stakeholders participate they can also directly monitor responsible forest management according to FSC’s principles and criteria. There is no other forest certification system which gives stakeholders as much power as FSC does. |
