Abstract
To understand the impact of certification on communities and suggest actions for the future, we carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the existing studies and case material, interviewed and organized discussions with more than 60 individuals involved in forest certification as certifiers, accreditors, clients, researchers, or promoters, assembled detailed case studies for Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, and Bolivia, and presented the hypotheses and conclusions in a June seminar in Vancouver, Canada, and the November meetings of the FSC General Assembly in Oaxaca. Comments by experts on a draft circulated in late 2002 have been incorporated.
