永續森林經營發生的二三事...FSC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 6.3)From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for FSC Forest Management Criteria(C 6.3)

關於FSC FM的標準，其10項原則與70項準則，是屬全球性通用的。因此國、公、私有林經營者，在申請FSC FM驗證的預審或年審時，可以考慮以下資料來源的整備與其他因素，以備驗證。

Criterion 6.3. The Organization shall identify and implement effective actions to prevent negative impacts of management activities on the environmental values, and to mitigate and repair those that occur, proportionate to the scale, intensity and risk of these impacts.

準則6.3. 組織應適切根據負面衝擊之規模、強度和風險，確立並執行有效行動，以避免經營活動對環境價值造成衝擊，及減緩和修復已發生的影響。

 一、可能資料來源的整備：

1.        組織提供根據經營活動的類型、規模、強度和風險，所識別其對環境價值的潛在負面影響文件，以及所執行保護的措施文件，例如: 環境影響評估程序書、表單報告; 環境價值保護措施計畫等。

2.        組織訪談的人員類型:組織業辦人員、作業活動區域之社區成員、政府官員、環境專家等。

二、其他因素： 

1.        針對識別出的潛在負面影響，制定預防措施，可以包括：採用生態友好型經營技術、加強員工教育和培訓、制定應急預案。

2.        針對已發生的負面影響，應採用科學的方法和技術，也要考慮徵詢當地社區的意見和需求，以確保減輕和修復措施的有效性。減輕和修復措施，例如:生態修復。

3.        減輕和修復措施是保護森林生態環境的重要手段。組織應根據實際情況，制定有效的減輕和修復措施，以防止或減輕經營活動對環境價值的負面影響。

Regarding the standards of FSC FM, its 10 principles and 70 criteria are globally applicable. Therefore, when applying for FSC FM verification, whether in pre-assessment or annual assessment, national, public, and private forest managers may consider the following sources of information and other factors for preparation: 

Criterion 6.3. The Organization shall identify and implement effective actions to prevent negative impacts of management activities on the environmental values, and to mitigate and repair those that occur, proportionate to the scale, intensity and risk of these impacts. 

Possible sources of information:

1.  The organization provides documents identifying the potential negative impacts of management activities on environmental values, and documents outlining the protective measures implemented based on the type, scale, intensity, and risk of the operational activities, such as environmental impact assessment procedures, reports, and environmental value protection measures plans.

2.  Types of personnel for interviews: Organization staff, community members in the operational area, government officials, environmental experts, etc.

Other factors:

1.  For identified potential negative impacts, preventive measures should be formulated, including adopting eco-friendly operational techniques, enhancing staff education and training, and developing contingency plans.

2.  For negative impacts that have occurred, scientific methods and technologies should be employed, while also considering consultation with and the needs of local communities, to ensure the effectiveness of mitigation and restoration measures. Mitigation and restoration measures may include ecological restoration.

3.  Mitigation and restoration measures are crucial means of protecting forest ecosystems. Organizations should develop effective mitigation and restoration measures based on actual circumstances to prevent or mitigate the negative impacts of operational activities on environmental values.
