Abstract
This Advice Note establishes two requirements for the protection of Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) and replaces former Advice Note ADVICE-20-007-18. The revision reflects the expiry of former Clause 2. Clause 1 and former Clause 3 remain effective until the completion of the transition periods specified in the applicable Forest Stewardship Standards, as described in the 'Scope' section. The document code has been changed from 20-007 to STD-60-004 to ensure consistency with its scope of application to organizations.
