is.evaluation.notesGood presentation of cases where FSC principals are ignored and HCVF and other important forests are destroyed by Finnish State Companies. But with the intention to help and improve FSC by reporting things not recognized instead.
is.evaluation.quotesThe recent assessment of threatened habitat types in Finland (2008) concludedthat two thirds of forest habitat types in Finland are threatened, and that the most significantreasons for this were forestry and drainage for forestry (ditching)
is.evaluation.quotesIn the region of Kainuu in eastern Finland, the state forestry enterprise Metsähallitus, one ofthe main suppliers of Finnish wood, is systematically logging the last fragments of old-growthforests outside of protected areas. The most common method of logging in these forests is clear-cutting.
is.evaluation.quotesCompanies like UPM, Stora Enso and Metsä Group are jeopardising the FSC's integrity byallowing “uncontrolled” wood from operations that negatively impact HCV forests to enter thesystem. The FSC must immediately revoke the FSC trademark licences of UPM, Stora Ensoand Metsä Group until they have cleaned up their supply chain so that they are not sourcingfrom HCV forests.
