| is.evaluation.notes | This is a CAR-analysis of FM CHs in Latvia, including the state forests.50% of CARs raised concerned ecological issues, and communal and privately owned forests had particularly high levels of non-conformities concerning ecological requirements. More particularly, certification audits allowed to improve biological monitoring and training in modern environmental practices, and enforced the implementation of legal requirements. It also allowed the identification and protection of High Conservation Value forests and woodland key habitats, enforced the monitoring of threatened species, increased the amount of biotope trees and dead wood, and the use of a broader range of tree species for regeneration. Finally, the certification reduced the risk of soil damage and compaction caused by heavy machines, and the risk of use of chemical substances. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The conclusion can be drawn that certification according to FSC has conserved and improved biodiversity in large parts of Latvia, especially at a time when these issues were still debated on a national level and legal stipulations were unclear or weak. | |
