is.evaluation.quotes | Through its incorporation of a broad range of stakeholders in standards development, the promotion of stringent and wide-ranging standards and trade in products from well-managed forests, the FSC initially showed it had the greatest potential of the certification schemes to fill the gaps in the forest regime. | |
is.evaluation.quotes | The lack of ownership felt by many forest owners to the FSC and the cost of complying with its stringent standards go a long way to explain the on-going proliferation of industry-dominated programs. | |
is.evaluation.quotes | This study has thus 'in some measure' confirmed the often-heard claim of an inherent conflict between two necessary conditions for effectiveness in voluntary, market-driven instruments: the need for strong environmental standards and the need for widespread participation of producers. | |
is.evaluation.quotes | Although there is certified forestland in several developing countries, certification is primarily a tool applied in the developed world. The market benefits accruing from certification are evidently not sufficient to convince large numbers of forest holdings in developing countries to undertake the necessary steps to become certified. In addition to the costs of certification, there is little knowledge of certification programs and control of forestland, and a large share of the forestland that is certified in the tropics is made up of plantations. | |
is.evaluation.quotes | We should thus not have unrealistic expectations that forest certification will have a significant impact on sustainable use and conservation of natural grown tropical forests. The policy implication of this finding would be that to save the remaining old-growth commercial forests in the tropics, stronger measures than market-driven tools seem necessary. | |
