Challenges on identifying land tenure; what can be improved? Lessons learned for FSC remediation action

This session will provide an insight into the main challenges on identifying land tenure complexity in the Forest Management Unit, how social conflict can arise and be an obstacle to achieving positive impact. While FPIC is an essential legal framework to recognize the rights of Indigenous Peoples to participate in the decision-making for their territory. It is challenging when being implemented in a country /state that does not recognize customary rights and customary claim is contested. 

In this session we will hear from rights holders on the challenges, undesirable conditions during the FPIC process and highlight the importance of carrying out proper FPIC in place. We will also introduce tools to strengthen existing instruments that could improve certificate holders and auditors' work on identifying, mapping, analysing, assessing social impacts of FSC certified forestry practices to address those challenges.

Dr. Draham Pal Singh Verma, Indian Forest Service

I am a trained forester by profession with PhD in social forestry & belong to “Indian Forest Service”. I have dedicated myself to the sustainable management of forests; over three decades, where main objective was sustained production of timber; Environmental & Social issues were of secondary considerations. As massive deforestation of tropical forests came to central stage, during late sixties & early seventies, social & environmental concerns came to occupy an important place in forestry management.
