| is.evaluation.notes | The historical development of NTFP certification as an additional part of forest certification is presented, with a special focus on Brazil. The benefits and barriers are explained for every participating group (industry, communities, politics, NGOs). Due to the fact that it's written by IMAFLORA, the paper seems to be biased in its positive examination. But FSC certification for NTFPs and in general is evaluated as important, especially in raising awareness among corporations and consumers. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The Forest Stewardship Council certification has opened possibilities to promote forest management of timber and NTFPs for communities and add value to forests (Veríssimo and Smeraldi 1999). It has also provided access to markets for community forest products. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | A heightened awareness of the role of NTFPs in forest use and management could encourage timber certifiers to press for the retention of species more valuable for their non-wood products than for their timber. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Certification needs to be understood as only one tool, amongothers, to foster both forest management and improved livelihoods. As such, thetool needs to work in concert with public policies, capacity building, corporateresponsibility, consumer awareness and research. To be effective, such multisectoralefforts need to be well coordinated over both the short and long term. | |
