Résumé :
|
The Sustainable Forestry Handbook provides an introduction to international standards for forest management. What are they? What do they require? How can it be done? The handbook is divided into six main parts, followed by a number of Appendices: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT - This provides an overview of the main international initiatives attempting to define sustainable forest management, and a brief introduction to forest management certification. PART TWO: WHAT DO THE STANDARDS REQUIRE? - Part Two describes what is required, as defined by two of the major international initiatives - FSC and ITTO. It covers legal and policy issues; sustained timber production; environmental protection; the well-being of people and a section specifically covering plantation management. PART THREE: USING AN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - This part provides a management framework for sustainable forest management activities. It is loosely based on the structure of the internationally applied environmental management system, ISO 14001. Cross linkages to forest management activities are highlighted. PART FOUR: MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS - Part Four describes how the requirements described in Part Two might be met, in terms of planning, implementation and monitoring. This incorporates the major forest management activities which need to be addressed. PART FIVE: TACKLING SOCIAL ISSUES - Sustainable forest management involves social skills as much as it does silvicultural know-how. This special focus on social issues helps bring forest managers up-to-date with ways to include all forest stakeholders in the management process. New techniques successfully used in community forest projects and agriculture are described. PART SIX: FOREST MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION - Independent certification of forest management is discussed in more detail. Brief consideration is given to the reasons why an organization might want to become certified, which standards can be used for certification and the process leading to the award of a certificate
