The Stewardship of Intact Forest Landscapes

Intact forest landscapes (IFLs) are the last remaining large unfragmented forest areas. The FSC requirements for IFLs meet the concerns of our members and stakeholders but have been shown not to be effective, especially in tropical regions. Join this interactive session to discuss the ideas for possible new guidance for good stewardship in IFLs based on the analysis of the proposed motions and input from the Focus Forest Advisory Group (FFAG) and whether FSC’s Focus Forest project can provide a possible solution.
