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 8.2.6)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.2 & I 8.2.6).

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

8.2.6 The integrated pest management, appropriate silviculture alternatives and other biological measures shall be preferred to minimize the use of pesticides.

8.2.6 應優先採用整合性病蟲害管理、適當的林木栽培替代方案和其他生物防治措施，以減少農藥的使用。

可能資料的整備：

       組織應盡可能減少殺蟲劑的使用，以保護環境和人體健康，優先考慮其他更友善環境的措施，例如綜合害蟲管理、林木栽培替代方案、生物防治等。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        病蟲害管理程序，內容包括: 整合性病蟲害管理方式、以及如何預防和控制害蟲，並優先考慮非化學的防治措施。

2.        提供農藥使用紀錄，包括使用的種類、數量、施用時間和地點等。

3.        針對所採用替代措施，例如: 林木栽培替代方案和其他生物防治措施的成效進行評估，並有相關的數據支持。

4.        提供相關的監測資料，證明害蟲的發生狀況和防治效果。

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.

8.2.6 The integrated pest management, appropriate silviculture alternatives and other biological measures shall be preferred to minimize the use of pesticides.

Preparation of possible information:

       Organizations should reduce the use of pesticides as much as possible to protect the environment and human health, prioritizing other more environmentally friendly measures, such as integrated pest management, silvicultural alternatives, biological control, etc.  Therefore, organizations should prepare the following information:

1.        Pest and disease management procedures, including: integrated pest management practices and how to prevent and control pests, and prioritize non-chemical control measures.

2.        Provide records of pesticide use, including the type and quantity used, time and place of application, etc.

3.        The effectiveness of the alternatives used, such as alternatives to silviculture and other biological control measures, was evaluated and supported by relevant data.

4.        Provide relevant monitoring data to prove the occurrence of pests and the effectiveness of control and control.
