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 10.7)From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for FSC Forest Management Criteria(C 10.7)

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 10.7 The Organization shall use integrated pest management and silviculture systems which avoid, or aim at eliminating, the use of chemical pesticides. The Organization shall not use any chemical pesticides prohibited by FSC policy. When pesticides are used, The Organization shall prevent, mitigate, and/or repair damage to environmental values and human health.

準則10.7. 組織應採用能避免或減少施用化學農藥為目標之病蟲害綜合防治與育林作業法。組織不應施用任何FSC政策禁止之化學農藥。當組織施用農藥時，應對環境價值及人體健康之損害加以預防、減緩、及/或修復。

可能資料來源的整備：

1.         組織應提供文件(例如:相關程序書)，並說明如何採用病蟲害綜合防治措施及育林作業法，以避免或減少施用化學農藥的措施，例如:栽種健康種苗、即時清除罹病株以減少苗床間感染源、防除媒介昆蟲等，以降低病菌傳播等。

2.         組織員工應能操作展示，如何確認所使用的化學農藥，屬非FSC政策禁止的化學藥劑。

3.         組織若使用化學農藥，應提供對環境價值及人體健康損害之有預防、減緩和/或修復措施的環境社會風險評估報告(ESRA)。

4.         組織應提供持續監測結果和依據結果所進行的改善，例如，定期進行內部稽核。

The 10 principles and 70 criteria of FSC FM Standard are universally applied. Therefore, when applying for the pre-audit or annual audit of FSC FM certification on national, public, and private forestlands, managers can consider preparing the following data sources and other factors for verification:

Criterion 10.7 The Organization shall use integrated pest management and silviculture systems which avoid, or aim at eliminating, the use of chemical pesticides. The Organization shall not use any chemical pesticides prohibited by FSC policy. When pesticides are used, The Organization shall prevent, mitigate, and/or repair damage to environmental values and human health.

Data Sources to be Prepared

1.         Organization should provide documentation (e.g. relevant protocols) on how to adopt integrated pest management (IPM) and silvicultural practices to avoid or reduce the use of chemical pesticides, e.g. planting healthy seedlings, immediate removal of diseased plants to reduce the source of infection between seedbeds, control of vector insects, etc., to reduce the spread of pathogens, etc.

2.         Employees should be able to demonstrate how to confirm that the chemical pesticides used are not prohibited by the FSC policy.

3.         If an organization uses chemical pesticides, it should provide an Environmental Social Risk Assessment Report (ESRA) with preventive, mitigation and/or remedial measures to environmental values and human health.

4.         The organization should provide continuous monitoring of the results and improvements made based on the results, for example, conducting regular internal audits.
