Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The forest certification initiatives emerged in the΄90s to stop irrational deforestation of tropical forests and to stimulate their sustainable management. At first, forest certification was an economic instrument for encouraging the sustainable management of tropical forests and banning the wood from illegal logging; then, it was extended to temperate and boreal forests. Nowadays, public and private certified forests exist on each continent, including Europe. The Romanian forest owners and managers have become part of this international environmental movement, stimulated by NGOs, wood buyers demands and the need to enter on demanding western wood markets.The paper analyses the evolution of certification process in our country and its effects regarding important ecological, economical and social aspects of Romanian forest management.
