| is.evaluation.quotes | "Soon after the international FSC was launched, forest industry associations and wood producer groups in key wood producing countries formed their own competing schemes (Cashore et al., 2004)." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "In general, we found limited overlap between the relevance of the production system to the goals of sustainable tropical timber production and social welfare and receptiveness to trade-based incentives. This is true, in part, because of the limited role of timber production in driving forest loss. Furthermore, land tenure insecurity and social vulnerability are prevalent in high conservation value forest areas. This tenure insecurity combined with complex forest registration, planning and permitting requirements puts legal forest production out of reach of the majority of Amazonian smallholders and communities. This includes those whose practices are arguably highly sustainable and beneficial for local economies." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "Meanwhile, international and domestic legality strategies have fueled the further expansion of registration, planning and permitting requirements that facilitate traceability but create disproportionate burdens on smallholders, driving them deeper into illegality and preventing their access to markets. This not only harms the rural poor, but also overlooks their broader social and environmental contributions, including the provision of affordable forest and farm products for the urban poor and the practice of agroforestry andmixed cropping." | |
