| is.evaluation.notes | Accessibly worded article, 'advising' indigenous peoples on forest certification and comparing different schemes. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "While this paper concludes that - of all the certification programs - the Forest StewardshipCouncil's offers the most that is of potential use to Indigenous Peoples, only time will tell whetherparticipating in FSC certification processes delivers tangible benefits. The FSC basically createsopportunities for dialogue between Indigenous Peoples and industry. It takes time to build trust,and time to see the outcomes of these processes." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "Indigenous communities may see forest certification in an entirely different way from the viewsexpressed above. For many Indigenous Peoples, certification may be an opportunity to protect allthings in the forest - not just timber, but berry bushes, mushrooms, medicinal plants, culturalsites, hunting and fishing areas, among others. Some Indigenous Peoples may also see it as anew opportunity to participate more fully in the forest economy. For others still it may mean anopportunity to negotiate new relationships with businesses and local communities." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "Forest certification may give Indigenous communities more control over forestry operations intheir territory. Under the FSC's Principles, Indigenous Peoples have the opportunity to participatein decision-making surrounding the pace of forestry, the kind of forestry, and control whether ornot forestry takes place at all." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "While some Indigenous Peoples and forest companies have good relationships, or are working todevelop them, many do not. Under FSC, companies only gain certification after consulting withIndigenous Peoples and Forest Certification http://www.fao.org/docrep/ARTICLE/WFC/XII/1000-A1.HTM3 of 7 2/23/2015 3:01 PMlocal communities, including Indigenous communities. How meaningful those consultations willbe depends in large measure upon how insistent individual Indigenous communities are andupon the company's level of commitment to the process." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "One general difference between the FSC and other systems is that the FSC is overtly “resultsbased,”in that it assesses the tangible impacts upon a given operating area; others focus moreon management structures and processes. The reasoning for the latter approach is that, if thecorrect management approach is taken, there will be improvements in practice. The jury is stillout on which approach leads to more positive benefits on the ground and in communities." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "The other systems are making efforts to better integrate such values and perspectives. At thetime that this is being written, however, only the FSC has a relatively comprehensive andprogressive approach to Indigenous Peoples' issues. It is crucial to stress that even the FSC willnot live up to its potential without the participation and vigilance of Indigenous Peoples." | |
