Other Certification Bodies?
SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) Funded and dominated by the timber industry Weak environmental protections Allows conversion of natural forests (includingold-growth) into tree farms
No credible Chain of Custody to keep outillegal wood
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Allows large-scale clearing of old-growth Fails to protect First Nations
IBAMA Program of the Brazilian government Low environmental standards, poorly enforced No Chain of Custody
PEFC - Program for the Endorsement of ForestCertification Weak environmental standards No credible Chain of Custody Mutually recognizes virtually all forest certification
systems, including SFI and CSA PEFC wood could come from almost any source
ISO (International Standards Organization) Standards address manufacturing practices, notforest management
