永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 8.1 & I 8.1.1)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.1 & I 8.1.1).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求。

8. Operation運營

8.1 Maintenance or appropriate enhancement of forest resources and their contribution to the global carbon cycle.

8.1維護或適當增強森林資源及其對全球碳循環的貢獻

8.1.1 Management shall aim to maintain or increase forests and their ecosystem services and maintain or enhance the economic, ecological, cultural and social values of forest resources.

8.1.1 管理應旨在維護或增加森林及其生態系統服務，並維護或增強森林資源的經濟、生態、文化和社會價值。

可能資料的整備：

       組織應採取措施保護森林，確保森林資源的永續利用及森林所提供的生態系統服務，例如水源涵養、土壤保持、生物多樣性等，以及森林的經濟、生態、文化和社會價值。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        提供明確的森林經營目標，包括:維持或增加森林資源、生態系統服務以及森林的經濟、生態、文化和社會價值。

2.        提供監測計畫，用於監測森林的健康狀況、生態系統服務的提供以及森林資源的價值。

3.        提供相關措施，說明組織如何實現森林經營目標。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified:

8. Operation

8.1 Maintenance or appropriate enhancement of forest resources and their contribution to the global carbon cycle.

8.1.1 Management shall aim to maintain or increase forests and their ecosystem services and maintain or enhance the economic, ecological, cultural and social values of forest resources.

Preparation of possible information:

       Organizations should take measures to protect forests and ensure the sustainable use of forest resources and the ecosystem services they provide, such as water conservation, soil conservation, biodiversity, etc., as well as the economic, ecological, cultural and social values of forests. Therefore, organizations should prepare the following information:

1.        Provide clear forest management objectives, including: maintaining or increasing forest resources, ecosystem services, and the economic, ecological, cultural and social values of forests.

2.        Provide monitoring programmes to monitor the health of forests, the provision of ecosystem services, and the value of forest resources.

3.        Provide measures on how the organization is achieving its forest management goals.
