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 8.4 & I 8.4.6)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 8.4 & I 8.4.6).

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，其他內容請參考https://sustainableforest.blogspot.com/。

8. Operation運營

8.4 Maintenance, conservation and appropriate enhancement of biological diversity in forest ecosystems.

8.4維護、保護和適當增強森林生態系統中的生物多樣性

8.4.6 The afforestation, reforestation and other tree planting activities that contribute to the improvement and restoration of ecological connectivity shall be promoted.

8.4.6 應推廣有助於改善和恢復生態連通性的造林、再造林和其他植樹活動。

可能資料的整備：

       森林生態系統之間的連通性對於物種的遷移、基因交流以及生態過程的維持至關重要。森林經營活動應考慮如何改善和恢復不同森林板塊之間的連通性，以促進生態系統的完整性。除了傳統的造林和復育外，還可以通過其他植樹活動，如沿河流或道路兩旁植樹，來增強生態連通性。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.         說明如何連接不同森林板塊的生態廊道規劃。

2.         提供植樹計畫，包括樹種選擇、種植密度、種植地點等。

3.         提供與其他土地使用者（如農民、社區）合作的相關文件，以確保生態廊道的連續性。

4.         提供對生態連通性的改善效果的評估報告。

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

8.4 Maintenance, conservation and appropriate enhancement of biological diversity in forest ecosystems.

8.4.6 The afforestation, reforestation and other tree planting activities that contribute to the improvement and restoration of ecological connectivity shall be promoted.

Preparation of possible information:

       Connectivity between forest ecosystems is essential for species migration, gene exchange, and the maintenance of ecological processes. Forest management activities should consider how to improve and restore connectivity between different forest plates in order to promote ecosystem integrity. In addition to traditional afforestation and restoration, ecological connectivity can be enhanced through other tree-planting activities, such as planting trees along rivers or on both sides of roads.

Therefore, organizations should prepare the following data:

1.         Illustrate how to plan ecological corridors that connect different forest plates.

2.         Provide a tree planting plan, including tree species selection, planting density, planting location, etc.

3.         Provide documentation for collaboration with other land users (e.g. farmers, communities) to ensure the continuity of the ecological corridor.

4.     Provide an assessment report on the effectiveness of ecological connectivity improvements.
