On this International Women’s Day, take a look at how the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is exploring diversity and gender equity in sustainable forestry
The Forest Management Groups standard (FSC-STD-30-005) is the first forest solution delivered by New Approaches team and has been revised and approved by the FSC International Board of Directors on November 19, less than two years after the establishment of the working group in charge of the revision.
The final results of the Mangifera and Dalbergia wood species transaction verification loop (TV loop) highlight a number of supply chain integrity concerns pertaining to FSC certificate holders, specifically from India. The main findings include fraudulent documentation and large volumes of false claims.
Two Italian entities publicly owning forests in the regions of Lombardy and Tuscany have used the FSC Ecosystem Services Procedure to prove their positive impacts related to carbon sequestration, watershed quality and recreational services.
Biodiversity decline will increasingly get public and political attention over the next 18 months. Unfortunately, forest certification might not be highlighted as a solution to the problem. To avoid being overlooked as part of the solution, FSC will ensure that its contributions to biodiversity protection and ecosystem services support are well known nationally and internationally. Our work is relevant for future discussions that will take place on this topic.
Ukraine has significant forest areas with high environmental, social and economic value. But for years, its forestry sector has battled with critical issues, including corruption, that directly impact the country’s forests.
