About this ebook
Forest Certification examines the historical roots of forest certification, the factors that guide the development of protocols, the players involved, the factors determining the customers to be certified, and the benefits of certification. It covers terminology and issues that direct the structure of standards, the similarities between indicators of different human disturbances within the ecosystem/landscape, and certification standards. It documents the roles of human values in the development of assessment protocols and demonstrates how elements should be used to produce non-value based standards.
