Resource description:
The FSC Ecosystem Services Procedure provides new tools to strengthen incentives for the protection of ecosystem services:
- Impact verification: The procedure provides a global approach that FSC certificate holders can use to demonstrate the impact of their forest management activities on ecosystem services.
- Ecosystem Services Claims: Verified impacts give rise to FSC ecosystem services claims, which will provide governments, investors, buyers, and businesses with assurance that the impacts they are paying for do preserve ecosystem services
