INTRODUCTION Forest certification has been actively growing around the world for the last decade.This effort was originally started to show communities in developing countries that there was a concern amongst industrialized countries for how well forests were being protected and managed.As opposed to all out boycotts,which often result in actually devaluing forest land,forest certification requires that landowners and manufacturers voluntarily invite third-party auditors to certify that their practices meet internationally recognized standards for responsible forest management.
