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 8.2 & I 8.2.2)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.2 & I 8.2.2).

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

8.2 Maintenance of forest ecosystem health and vitality.

8.2維護森林生態系統的健康和活力

8.2.2 The adequate genetic, species and structural diversity shall be encouraged or maintained to enhance the stability, vitality and resilience of the forests to adverse environmental factors and strengthen natural regulation mechanisms.

8.2.2應鼓勵或維持適當的基因、物種和結構多樣性，以增強森林對不良環境因素的穩定性、活力和韌性，並強化自然調節機制。

可能資料的整備：

       組織應透過增加和維持森林的遺傳、物種和結構多樣性，提高森林的生態系統服務功能，使其更具韌性，更好地應對環境變化。

組織應準備以下資料：

1.        建立種子庫、基因庫，保存珍貴的遺傳資源。

2.        進行瀕危物種復育、改善瀕危物種的棲地條件、 對物種的數量、分布、行為等進行長期監測與研究，掌握其生存狀況。

3.        建立森林中不同樹種的年齡、大小、空間分布等方面的差異結構多樣性。

4.        執行生物多樣性保育措施，例如: 建立保護區、棲地復原、廊道連結、外來種移除等。

5.        遵守相關保護生物多樣性的法律法規。

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

8.2 Maintenance of forest ecosystem health and vitality.

8.2.2 The adequate genetic, species and structural diversity shall be encouraged or maintained to enhance the stability, vitality and resilience of the forests to adverse environmental factors and strengthen natural regulation mechanisms.

Preparation of possible information:

       Organization should improve the ecosystem services of forests by enhancing and maintaining their genetic, species, and structural diversity, making them more resilient and responsive to environmental change.

The organization should prepare the following information:

1.        Establish seed banks, gene banks, and preserve precious genetic resources.

2.        Carry out the restoration of endangered species, improve the habitat conditions of endangered species, and conduct long-term monitoring and research on the number, distribution, and behavior of species, so as to grasp their survival status.

3.        To establish the differential structural diversity of different tree species in the forest in terms of age, size, and spatial distribution.

4.        Implement biodiversity conservation measures, such as the establishment of protected areas, habitat restoration, corridor connections, removal of alien species, etc.

5.        Comply with laws and regulations related to the conservation of biodiversity.
