ABSTRACT

As discussed in Parts One and Two, over the ten years since forest certification first emerged, a number of certification schemes have been developed. Appendix 1 provides detailed information on seven of the main schemes, providing a unique insight into each scheme as seen by its own supporters and developers. The seven schemes reviewed are:

CertforChile – national certification scheme in Chile;

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) – Canada's national standard for sustainable forest management;

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Scheme – an international programme;

Lembaga Ecolabel Indonesia (LEI) – Indonesian sustainable production forest management certification scheme;

Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC) Scheme;

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Schemes – international programmes;

North American Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
