Abstract:
The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM), established in 1985, is composed of the federal, provincial and territorial Ministers responsible for forests. Its role has evolved into one that stimulates the development of policies and initiatives for strengthening the forest sector, including the forest resource and its use. One of the most important functions of the CCFM is that it sets the overall direction for the stewardship and sustainable management of Canada's forests by addressing issues and stimulating joint initiatives. Under its guidance, four successive National Forest Strategies and three Forest Accords have been developed. Another major achievement has been the development of the CCFM Criteria and Indicators Framework: Defining Sustainable Forest Management – A Canadian Approach to Criteria and Indicators. Today, the CCFM works under five strategic themes: sustainable forestry; international issues; forest communities; science and technology; and information and knowledge. The ongoing, positive cooperation between the two levels of government helps maintain healthy and productive forests and their sustained contribution to Canadians' economic, environmental and social well-being over the long term.

Abstract:
Community forests managed by indigenous, traditional, and local communities must be environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable for their benefits to persist. Certification of community forests communicates that products harvested there meet these standards. However, certification of community forests has been limited, particularly in Africa. Financial analysis, review of audit reports, and a survey of forest managers were used to explore monetary and non-monetary social costs and benefits of Forest Stewardship Council certification for 14 timberproducing community forests managed by traditional peoples in south-eastern Tanzania. Direct monetary costs of certification outweighed monetary benefits, threatening economic sustainability. Nevertheless, forest managers believed that community forests should retain certification because they valued its non-monetary benefits, which were consistent with the Forest Stewardship Council's social principles. This study demonstrates that certification of community forests can help indigenous and traditional peoples ensure safe working conditions, strengthen forest tenure rights, sustain multiple community benefits, and protect culturally-important sites, however, financial barriers persist.

Abstract:
Abstract Interviews were conducted to determine the motives and record the experiences of US forest owners and managers whose forests were certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Nonindustrial private forest owners sought certification largely out of a commitment to forest stewardship; they consider the cost of meeting contract conditions part of the normal business of improving their practices. Industrial private, public, and professional resource managers expected a price premium for certified wood. Although higher profits haven't been realized, many of those surveyed said the certification process let them examine their practices without the political calculations that debates on forestry often trigger.

Abstract:
In June 1997, we visited the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme (MCF), a community forest in the Alps of northern Italy. We have prepared this article to help broaden the perspectives of Forestry Chronicle readers on community forests and what they mean in various parts of the world. We first describe the area and its forests, and then give a brief history of the MCF. Then we review the forest-management strategies used in this Norway spruce forest, and summarize the logging and wood-processing activities of the enterprise. We continue with a comparison of this community forest with three community forests in Canada, concluding that generalization on what makes a community forest successful is dangerous — each situation is unique. Finally, given that the MCF recently won permission to use the eco-label of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), we discuss our perceptions of how the MCF operation does and does not meet the FSC's Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship. Despite several shortcomings, we believe that the MCF is in most respects a sound example of sustainable forest management.

Abstract:
In times of intense climate change and the search for alternative energy sources to fossil fuels, the problem of sustainable forest management that is beneficial to the natural environment is very important. The foundation of the organizations that developed the first standards for environmentally friendly forest management was United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. This study presents the history and assumptions of forest certification in Polish forests. The reasons for the resignation from FSC ((Forest Stewardship Council) membership by numerous regional directorates of State Forests have been discussed.

Abstract:
<p> This study characterizes the experience of five states that have chosen to pursue third party sustainable forest certification of publicly owned lands using the principles and criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Studying the impact of FSC certification on Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania may provide the Colorado State Forest Service and other forest stakeholders with an improved understanding of the potential impact of FSC certification of Colorado's public forests. This issue is especially pertinent to Colorado green builders who are attempting to acquire structural lumber from sustainably managed forests within a 500 mile (805 km) area of the construction site, as prescribed by US Green Build Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) standards. As there are no FSC certified forests in Colorado or neighboring states, sustainable builders cannot comply with some pertinent green building standards. Additionally, It is intended that this study will support sustainable forest policy studies and facilitate continuing research on the impact of FSC certification of Colorado public forests.</p>

Abstract:
O sistema de certificação florestal FSC, cujo objetivo institucional é reduzir os impactos negativos da exploração predatória de florestas, é um mecanismo criado e governado por atores da sociedade civil. Sem dispor de poder governamental para regulamentar a forma de atuação do setor privado, o FSC define regras socioambientais de produção que são seguidas por milhares de empresas em centenas de países, representando cerca de 20% das áreas florestais produtivas. Atualmente o FSC reúne entre seus afiliados as principais organizações ambientalistas, movimentos sociais e empresas florestais do mundo. Estudar os mecanismos internos de funcionamento do FSC, utilizados para manter o apoio desta densa rede de organizações, cada qual com seus interesses específicos e muitas vezes antagônicos, de modo que consiga ser, ao mesmo tempo, uma oportunidade de ganhos para empresas privadas e uma estratégia de redução de impactos socioambientais para organizações ambientais e sociais, é o objetivo central desta dissertação de mestrado. Para isso foi analisado o desenho institucional do FSC e os mecanismos utilizados no processo de tomada de decisões, por meio de um estudo das últimas duas Assembléias Gerais do FSC (2005 e 2008), instância máxima de decisão do sistema. Este estudo foi realizado a partir de análises dos resultados das decisões tomadas nestas ocasiões, e de interpretações factuais do processo de negociação que existe entre os diferentes setores envolvidos. Estas assembléias constituem reais arenas de negociação entre os diversos atores interessados no setor florestal, sejam empresas privadas, organizações ambientalistas ou movimentos sociais, ambos com poder igualitário de voto em todas as decisões que definem o funcionamento do sistema. As análises realizadas nesta dissertação demonstraram que este desenho institucional de tomada de decisões é fundamental para a legitimação do sistema, e é em grande parte responsável por manter o apoio dos diversos setores. Ao compartilharem as decisões, prevalece um ambiente de confiança e cooperação entre os atores, que resulta em uma percepção de co-responsabilidade sobre a configuração do sistema. Esta situação não apresenta nenhum sinal de estabilidade, pelo contrário, é através das freqüentes contestações por parte dos atores que a legitimidade do sistema se reafirma periodicamente nos resultados obtidos nas Assembléias Gerais. Os resultados desta dissertação contribuem para o entendimento dos novos mecanismos de governança, onde a sociedade civil passa a ter um papel fundamental no enfrentamento dos grandes desafios globais.<br>The FSC forest certification system, which institutional goal is to reduce the negative impacts of predatory use of forests, is a mechanism created and managed by civil society actors. Without the governmental power to regulate the behavior of the private sector, the FSC has defined social and environmental standards that are followed by thousands of companies in hundreds of countries, representing around 20% of the world productive forest area. Currently FSC has the support of the major environmentalist organizations, social movements and private companies in the world. The central objective of this dissertation is to study the internal FSC mechanisms, applied to maintain the support of this dense network of organizations, each of those with its specific and most of the time opposed interests, able to be, at the same time, an opportunity of benefits for private companies, and a strategy to reduce the social and environmental impacts of harvesting activities for the civil society organizations. In order to achieve this, the FSC institutional design and decision making process were assessed, through an analysis of two FSC General Assemblies (2005 and 2008). The study has evaluated the results of the decisions that were taken by the FSC members in these two occasions, and the negotiation processes between the different stakeholders that were in place for the approval of such decisions. The FSC General Assembly configures a real negotiation arena, where private companies, environmentalists and social organizations have equal voting power in all decisions that affect the functioning of the system. The analyses demonstrates that the institutional design that defines the decision making process in FSC is crucial for the legitimacy of the system, and is in great part responsible to maintain the support of such diverse stakeholders group. Once the decisions are taken collectively, there´s a prevailing environment of trust and cooperation among stakeholders, resulting in a perception of co-responsibility over the general configuration of the system. This is far away from a stable situation, but rather it´s due to the frequent conflicts among stakeholders that the system´s legitimacy is periodically reaffirmed in the FSC General Assemblies. The result of this dissertation is a contribution for the general understanding of the new governance mechanisms, where civil society plays a fundamental role in addressing the major global challenges.

Abstract:
Labeling is one way consumers evaluate products for purchase. Environmental labeling is used to provide environmental information to the consumer. If a person is familiar with a particular labeling process they may be more inclined to consume such product. This study used the Tobii© T60 eye-tracking system to determine differences in gaze durations and time to first fixation between the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label and an unsubstantiated label. Labels were placed on two different products (toilet paper and paper plates) and four locations (top-right corner, bottom-right corner, top-left corner, and bottom-left corner). Additionally, after the participants viewed the images they were asked to complete the six-question GREEN Consumer Values scale and then asked to sort eighteen different images based on label type and price. Participants did not differentiate between the two labels. Labels placed in the bottom-right corner received the least amount of attention (as measured by fixation duration) when compared to labels placed in the other three corners. Eye-tracking data was then split at the median and two groups were created: low label fixators versus high label fixators. High label fixators scored overall higher on the GREEN Consumer Values scale than low label fixators. Participants sorted the 18 products based on price, putting the lowest-labeled product first 84% of the time. Future studies could include looking at other environmental labels and broader populations.<br>Master of Science

O Programa Brasileiro de Certificação Florestal (CERFLOR) é o sistema de certificação mais conhecido no Brasil, e internacionalmente, os principais são o Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) e o Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). O FSC começou a funcionar em 1993 como a primeira organização não-governamental composta por partes interessadas para garantir a sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econômica dos recursos florestais. O empreendimento florestal deve seguir os dez princípios e 56 critérios para usar o selo do FSC em seus produtos. Ao adotar políticas de responsabilidade social, a empresa se diferencia por utilizar práticas sociais e ambientais e facilita a obtenção de novos mercados. Dentro dos “Princípios & Critérios”, está a Política de Pesticidas do FSC com princípios ativos proibidos cujo uso deve ser interrompido imediatamente, pela empresa que queira se certificar. Empreendimentos certificados enfrentam dificuldades para se ajustar ao uso de pesticidas químicos de acordo com as exigências impostas pelo FSC. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar o histórico, procedimentos da derrogação para o uso de produtos proibidos, discutir as técnicas e alternativas de controle e verificar os impactos da certificação florestal do FSC nas práticas de manejo integrado de pragas florestais da perspectiva dos empreendimentos florestais brasileiros. As alternativas existentes não provaram ter eficiência no controle de formigas cortadeiras comparadas ao uso de iscas granuladas à base de sulfluramida e fipronil, formulação em pó a base de deltametrina e termonebulizável a base de fenitrothion e em grânulos dispersíveis a base de fipronil para o controle de cupins. As alternativas propostas não demonstraram a mesma eficiência em campo e o prazo de derroga é insuficiente para desenvolver novas alternativas, especialmente para substituir as iscas e inseticidas que estão restritos pelo FSC, principalmente, em relação às formigas cortadeiras. Mais de 90% das empresas brasileiras certificadas pelo FSC classificaram as formigas cortadeiras como “muito importantes” e o controle químico de insetos foi considerado “muito importante” por 82% delas. A sulfluramida, que está em derrogação, foi classificada como “muito importante” por 96,5% das empresas certificadas, seguida pelo fipronil. A maioria das empresas está satisfeita com o FSC e o manejo integrado de pragas, porém quase 30% delas concordam plenamente que a proibição dos inseticidas usados no controle de formigas e cupins é uma barreira não-tarifária sobre a produtividade dos plantios florestais brasileiros. Proibir o uso desses químicos e usar alternativas sem a mesma eficiência da sulfluramida, para o manejo de formigas cortadeiras resultará em um mal manejo de pragas, maiores perdas na produção e aumento dos custos. Além disso, o uso de normas internacionais para o manejo florestal sustentável requer adaptação às realidades locais.<br>Forest certification seeks to guarantee that forest management is done in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. CERFLOR (Brazilian Program of Forest Certification) is the most known forest certification system in Brazil and globally, the leaders are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). The FSC began operating in 1993 as the first non-governmental organization composed of various stakeholders to ensure social, environmental and economic sustainability of the forest resources. The forest company must follow the 10 principles and 56 criteria in order to use the FSC label on their products. By adopting corporate social responsibility policies, the company differs itself from others by using social and environmental practices and helps to get into new markets. Within the "Principles & Criteria", the FSC Pesticides Policy prohibits some active ingredients which use must be discontinued immediately by a company that want to be certified. In Brazil and around the world, certified enterprises are facing difficulties to adjust the use of chemical pesticides in accordance with the requirements of the FSC. The objective of this study was to verify the history, the procedures of derogation for the use of banned pesticides, to discuss alternatives of techniques and control and to verify the impacts of FSC forest certification in the practices of integrated management of forest pests from the perspective of Brazilian forest enterprises. The alternatives have proved to be inefficient to proper control of leaf-cutting ants compared to the use of sulfluramid and fipronil granulated baits, powder formulation of deltamethrin and fog with fenitrothion and dispersible granules of fipronil for termite control. The alternatives proposed by scientific research did not demonstrate the same efficiency in the field and the derogation deadline is insufficient, specially to replace the use of baits and insecticides that are restricted by FSC, mainly in relation to leaf cutting ants. More than 90% of Brazilian companies certified by FSC rated the leaf cutting ants as "very important" and chemical control was considered "very important" by 82% of them. The sulfluramid, which is in derogation, has been rated as "very important" by 96.5% of certified companies, followed by fipronil. Most companies are satisfied with FSC and the integrated pest management, but almost 30% of them strongly agree that the prohibition of pesticides used in the control of ants and termites is a non-tariff barrier on the productivity of Brazilian forest plantations. Prohibit the use of these chemicals and using alternatives without the same efficiency of sulfluramid for the management of leaf cutting ants will result in mismanagement, losses in production and increased costs. Besides that, the use of international standards for sustainable forest management requires adaptation to local realities.

Abstract:
Doutoramento em Engenharia Florestal e dos Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de Agronomia - UL<br>Sustainable forest management is crucial for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Forest certification (FC) is a market-based conservation tool based on third-party auditing of compliance with environmental and socio-economic sustainable management standards. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification is a major certification scheme covering 183 million hectares of forests worldwide. However, there is a dearth of quantitative data on the effects of FSC certification on forest conservation. In this thesis the effects of FSC certification on the conservation cork oak (Quercus suber) woodlands of southern Portugal were evaluated. Specifically it was analyzed 1) if, at the regional level, certified cork oak woodlands overlap with areas with high biodiversity value (birds, reptiles and amphibians); 2) the effects of certification on the ecological condition of Mediterranean streams crossing cork oak woodlands and 3) the effects of FSC conservation zones on the abundance of cork oak regeneration and on the diversity of the shrubland understorey. Finally, 4) the FSC concept of “High Conservation Value Areas” and Pareto optimality were used to study the existence of areas with high biodiversity value (threatened bird and reptile species) that also provide ecosystems services (carbon storage and aquifer recharge). Results suggest that FSC certification 1) started in cork oak woodlands whose biodiversity value is not significantly greater than that of non-certified areas; 2) the ecological condition of Mediterranean streams crossing certified cork oak woodlands is significantly higher than that of streams crossing non-certified cork oak woodlands; 3) establishing FSC conservation zones promotes cork oak regeneration and diversity of understory shrublands and 4) there are large areas of cork oak woodlands with high biodiversity value that also provide ecosystems services

In this context the market started to demand information and guarantees about the forest products. One of the tools developed for this purpose is the forest certification, represented in Brazil mainly by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). In addition to attest the management system, the forest certification requires compliance with the laws in force in the country and of social, economic and environmental more restrictive criteria. For certification and maintenance of the certificate, it is required that all non-compliances with requirements of the standards are treated in the sense of being corrected by avoiding their recurrence. Thus, this study aims to analyze the future changes arising from the integration of International Generic Indicators (IGIs), taking into account the difficulties encountered for compliance with the current standard in the process of FSC certification audits in the context of forest plantations in Brazil. To this end, were obtained data and information from forest management certification audits in the last five years. The results obtained indicate that organizations have a higher difficulty to meet the Principles 4, 6, 7 and 8, strictly linked to the social aspects, such worker’s rights and community relations, environmental impacts, and social and environmental monitoring. The changes arising from the IGIs are mainly related to the new concepts and approaches that impact directly in social areas, environmental impact assessment/monitoring, and management of the forest management. Analyses intend to contribute and support decision-making by the forest sector, and assist in the process of recertification and certification processes of new organizations<br>Nas últimas décadas, a intensificação da preocupação ambiental gerada pelas atividades humanas vem causando reflexos em vários setores da sociedade. Neste contexto o mercado passou a exigir informações e garantias sobre os produtos florestais. Um dos instrumentos desenvolvidos para tal fim é a certificação florestal, representada no Brasil principalmente pelo Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Além de atestar o sistema de manejo, a certificação florestal exige o cumprimento das legislações vigentes no país e de critérios sociais, econômicos e ambientais mais restritivos. Para a certificação e manutenção do certificado, é exigido que todas as não conformidades com requisitos das normas sejam tratadas no sentido de serem corrigidas evitando sua recorrência. Desta forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as futuras mudanças advindas da inserção dos Indicadores Genéricos Internacionais (IGIs), levando em consideração as dificuldades encontradas para cumprimento do padrão atual nos processos de auditorias de certificação FSC no contexto das plantações florestais no Brasil. Para tanto, foram obtidos dados e informações das auditorias de certificação de manejo florestal nos últimos cinco anos. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as organizações apresentam maior dificuldade para cumprir os Princípios 4, 6, 7 e 8, estritamente ligados à aspectos sociais, como direito dos trabalhadores e relações com a comunidade, aos impactos ambientais, e monitoramento social e ambiental. As alterações advindas dos IGIs estão principalmente relacionadas a novos conceitos e abordagens que impactam diretamente nas áreas sociais, avaliação de impacto ambiental/monitoramento, e gestão do manejo. As análises realizadas se propõem a contribuir e subsidiar as tomadas de decisão pelo setor florestal, e auxiliar nos processos de recertificação e em processos de certificação de novas organizações.

Abstract:
Os desmatamentos ocorridos no Brasil ampliaram a percepção da sociedade quanto aos problemas ambientais deles advindos. Em virtude dessa conscientiação, as empresas madereiras têm enfrentado o desafio de demonstrar aos consumidores como vêm reduzindo os impactos socioambientais de suas operações. Como meio de marketing, muitas empresas fornecedoras de madeira certificada divulgam serem praticantes da responsabilidade socioambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho é a análise dos indicadores da certificação florestal do tipo plantação do Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), utilizados no Brasil para verificar as possibilidades de certificação florestal na atenuação dos impactos sociais e ambientais do setor madeireiro. Foi realizada uma leitura prévia de indicadores de diferentes sistemas de certificação florestal de plantações. Cento e dezessete indicadores do sistema de certificação de plantação FSC foram selecionados por serem considerados mais relevantes. Esses indicadores foram enviados em forma de um questionário para 244 atores sociais envolvidos na certificação. Cada ator social deveria atribuir a cada indicador uma nota de um a dez. Caso não soubesse de sua importância, deveria assinalar a coluna não sabe. Vinte e duas pessoas responderam ao questionário. Os atores sociais foram divididos em dois grupos: 10 atores sociais diretamente ligados à certificação florestal e indiretamente 12 ligados a certificação florestal. Os indicadores foram enfocados em 4 grupos: legal e administrativo; trabalhador florestal; comunidade do entorno da unidade de manejo florestal; e ambiental. Foi realizada uma análise separada para cada grupo social. Duas empresas do setor florestal foram avaliadas, na forma de estudo de casos, para averiguação de como as empresas com certificação florestal de plantação vêm implantando seus programas de responsabilidade social. Foi verificado que os atores sociais ligados diretamente à certificação florestal valorizam os indicadores com enfoque legal e administrativo e os com enfoque no trabalhador florestal. Os atores ligados indiretamente à certificação florestal valorizam os indicadores com enfoque legal e administrativo, com enfoque na comunidade e com enfoque ambiental. Os estudos de caso indicaram que a certificação de manejo florestal trouxe avanços em relação à mitigação dos impactos das operações florestais sobre o meio ambiente, trabalhadores florestais e a comunidade local.<br>The deforestations done in Brazil have amplified the perception of society to environmental problems and their results. Because of this awareness, the firms in the lumber sector have been challenged to show the consumers how they have been reducing the social and environmental impacts in their activities. As a form of marketing, many firms, which furnish certified wood, advertise that they are firms that practice social and environmental responsibility. The objective of this dissertation is the analysis of the indicators of the system for forest certification, model plantation forests, of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) used in Brazil; to verify the possibilities of forest certification in the attenuation of the social and environmental impacts in the lumbering sector. A prior reading of the different systems of indicators used for forest certification plantations was done. One hundred and seventeen indicators of the system for the certification of forests of the FSC were selected as being the most relevant. These indicators were sent, in the form of a questionnaire, to 244 stakeholders involved in certification. Each stakeholder was to attribute a note from 1 to 10 for each indicator. In the event that he was not certain of its importance, he would mark the column "Don't know". Twenty two persons responded to the questionnaire. The stakeholders were divided into two groups: 10 stakeholders directly connected to forest certification and 12 indirectly connected to forest certification. The indicators were divided into 4 groups: legal and administrative subjects, forest workers, the community living in the areas surrounding the forest management projects, and environment subjects. A separate analysis was done for each social group. Two firms, active in the forestry section, were evaluated, in a form of case studies, to see how firms with the forest certification of plantation are implanting their programs of social responsibility. It was verified that the stakeholders directly connected with forest certification valorize the indicators for legal and administrative aspects and forest workers. Those indirectly involved with forest certification valorize the legal and administrative approaches, the communities, and ecological aspects. The case studies indicate that the certification of forest management brought improvements in relation to the mitigation of the impacts of the forest operations on the environment, forest workers, and the local communities.

Abstract:
Assessing ecological sustainability involves monitoring of indicators and comparison of their states with performance targets that are deemed sustainable. First, a normative model was developed centered on evidence-based knowledge about (a) forest composition, structure, and function at multiple scales, and (b) performance targets derived by quantifying the habitat amount in naturally dynamic forests, and as required for presence of populations of specialized focal species. Second, we compared the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification standards’ ecological indicators from 1998 and 2010 in Sweden to the normative model using a Specific, Measurable, Accurate, Realistic, and Timebound (SMART) indicator approach. Indicator variables and targets for riparian and aquatic ecosystems were clearly under-represented compared to terrestrial ones. FSC’s ecological indicators expanded over time from composition and structure towards function, and from finer to coarser spatial scales. However, SMART indicators were few. Moreover, they poorly reflected quantitative evidence-based knowledge, a consequence of the fact that forest certification mirrors the outcome of a complex social negotiation process.

Abstract:
One of the long-term goals of the certification systems (FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification)) of sustainably managed forests that provide both social, environmental, and economic benefits is to completely phase out the use of chemical pesticides to protect planting material. It is in the interest of both nurseries and forest owners to find successful alternative, environmentally friendly solutions to safeguard pine saplings against Curculionidae. The studied two-year-old pine stands are located in the Hylocomiosa forest type with a total area of 4.27 ha. In 2016 clear-cutting was carried out, and in the spring of 2018, containerized seedlings were planted in areas with partial soil scarification in three repetitions in each area. Six plots with three variants in each of the repetitions were prepared. The work aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of P.sylvestris protection against damage Curculionidae while comparing untreated (control) lots with the ones treated with the systemic insecticide Actara or wax based on the number of damages and growth of seedlings. The intensity of tree damage and the incidence of damage over two years, depending on the type of seedling treatment, was assessed, and the average tree heights were measured and compared. With an increase in the incidence of weevil damage, the intensity of damage is also observed. At the same time, a significant (p&gt;0.05) difference in lesions between the types of treatment of seedlings has not been established. Within two years, the death of trees due to weevil damage is insignificant - 2 % of all seedlings treated with the systemic insecticide Actara, 5 % of seedlings treated with wax Kvaae, and 6 % of untreated seedlings or control. The treatment of seedlings significantly affected their growth in the first and second years after planting (p less than 0.05). The use of wax Kvaae resulted in higher costs and similar protection effectiveness as the use of chemical means.

Abstract:
: Certificiranje gospodarenja šumskim resursima je u nekoliko prethodnih decenija evoluiralo od teoretskog modela ka aplikativnom konceptu široko prihvaćenom od strane šumarske struke i drugih aktera šumarske politike. Kao tržišno zasnovan pristup, osnažen zabrinutošću krajnjih kupaca proizvoda šumarstva za globalna ekološka pitanja, certificiranje je učvrstilo svoju poziciju specifičnog instrumenta šumarske politike, koji je u stanju odgovoriti na promjenjive zahtjeve društva u odnosu na šumske ekosisteme. Održivo gospodarenje šumskim resursima, kao ultimativni cilj certificiranja, u sebi sadrži suštinu paradigme održivog razvoja – zadovoljenje sadašnjih ekoloških, socioloških i ekonomskih potreba društva bez ugrožavanja interesa budućih generacija. U ovom radu su prikazani efekti koje certificiranje gospodarenja šumskim resursima po programu FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) ima na ostvarenje univerzalnih ciljeva održivog razvoja (Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs) u Bosni i Hercegovini. Metodološki pristup je zasnovan na analizi standarda FSC za Bosnu i Hercegovinu, korektivnim aktivnostima koje su najčešće zahtijevane od poduzeća šumarstva u procesu certificiranja, ekspertnim procjenama šumarskih stručnjaka o pitanju doprinosa certificiranja održivom gospodarenju šumskim resursima, te ocjeni efikasnosti certificiranja od strane aktera šumarske politike u Bosni i Hercegovini. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da certificiranje najviše doprinosi ostvarenju SDG 15 (zaštita, uspostava i promocija održivog korištenja kopnenih ekosistema, održivo upravljanje šumama, sprečavanje širenja pustinja, degradacije zemljišta i gubitka biodiverziteta). Pored toga, certificiranje doprinosi i ostvarenju ostalih ciljeva održivog razvoja koji se odnose na dostojanstven rad i ekonomski rast, osiguranje čiste vode i zaštitu ekosistema povezanih sa vodom, vladavinu prava, rodnu ravnopravnost, dostupnost energije iz obnovljivih resursa, odgovornu proizvodnju i potrošnju, ublažavanje i prilagođavanje klimatskim promjenama i partnerstvo u ostvarenju ciljeva. Može se zaključiti da certificiranje, doprinoseći postizanju održivog gospodarenja šumskim resursima i očuvanju širokog dijapazona koristi od šumskih ekosistema, predstavlja važan instrument za postizanje univerzalnih ciljeva održivog razvoja u Bosni i Hercegovini.
