| is.evaluation.quotes | In PNG, the share of total timber production that is certified is extremely low, and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is the only forest certification scheme with a presence. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | As land ownership by customary resource owners is acknowledged and property rights remain with the landowners even after the transfer of development rights, customary resource owners can stay in their homes and continue to use forest resources for their livelihood under certain conditions. This is where PNG differs from other countries, in that there appears to be few cases where customaryresource owners are shut out from their forests and become displaced having lost their livelihood base. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The major environmental risk originating from logging operations in PNG is forest decrease anddegradation which undermine the terrestrial habitats of wild life and pose significant threat to theeco-system. […] A major cause of forest decrease and degradation is the excessive amount of logging in authorized projects derived from the setting of the AAC calculated without applying the principle of Sustainable Yield or based upon inadequate inventories assessment. | |
