Introduction FSC certification in native forests in Brazil has grown very little since 2005, no more than hectares per year. Nowadays, there are only 2.8 million hectares certified, representing no morethan1%ofthepublicforeststhatcanbemanagedonlyinamazonia. The Law of Public Forest Management(Law /2006) states that public forests must be conservedandusedsustainablythroughthreeformsofmanagement:(i)creationofprotectedareas, (ii) allocation for sustainable use by local communities and (iii) forest concession contracts for the practiceofforestmanagementforwoodproductsandservicesbybraziliancompanies.

II. Generalobjective: Strengthening FSC certification in Brazilian native forests, through the development of a project focused on continuous capacity building 1 X which involves the realization of courses, workshops and exchange of experiences with two audiences: forest concessions and initiatives of forest management community X, and which integrates various initiatives and entities that are partnersoffscbrazilandthebrazilianforestservicefromthisfield.
