5 Three landscapes Area changes from one color to another. Conversion = managed forests + other land uses (e.g. Plantations) (Deforestation) 22% Intact forests 32% Working forests 47% Forgotten forests

6 Today s agenda Forest biodiversity conservation & forest products 1. Intact working forests: market pressures Procurement policies (voluntary & compulsory) Certification Special places Legality ( new!) 2. Intact/working forests deforested areas Other agricultural commodities Resources Map based resources Procurement

7 Framework Intact forests Working forests Forgotten forests Then Market demand for forest products Voluntary procurement policies Certification Special places Now Mandatory procurement policies Legality requirements Market demand Certification From + to integrity across landscapes as conversion occurs

23 Intact managed forests: special places What is a special place? An area with unique qualities that requires special attention an treatment, including conservation. A special place could have: Biological, ecological & landscape values Conservation values Ecosystem services values Cultural, livelihood, historical & spiritual values

24 Intact managed forests: special places Multiple definitions AZE sites Special sites Key biodiversity areas Biodiversity hotspots Major tropical wilderness areas Key biotopes Endangered forests High Conservation Value Forests Intact Forest Landscapes Natura 200 Sites Forests with Exceptional Conservation Value Critical Forests Frontier Forests Global 200

25 Intact managed forests: legality Legality, a new trend FLEG, FLEGT & VPAs US Lacey Act Regulates outcome Results matters, but not what you did Must not import illegal wood Declaration requirement Timber regulation Regulates process What you did matters, but not the result Must follow certain due diligence procedures REDD Next?

44 Tools & resources: maps Mapping: lessons learned Map based tools can be used to prioritize actions and coordinate efforts among stakeholders. Take advantage of existing information and develop, in parallel, new information. User focus is key to be able to meet users demands and needs. Development process is key; information needs to have backup and support from all stakeholders. Process can be used to establish a working relationship among stakeholders.

45 Tools & resources: procurement Procurement cover

46 Tools & resources: procurement Environmental aspects Sustainability Have forests been sustainably managed? Special places Have special places, including sensitive ecosystems, been protected? Climate change Have climate change issues been addressed? Environmental protection Have appropriate environmental controls been applied? Recycled fiber Has recycled fiber been used appropriately? Other resources Have other resources been used appropriately? Sourcing and legality aspects Origin Where do the products come from? Information accuracy Is the information about the products credible? Legality Have the products been legally produced? Social aspects Local communities and indigenous peoples Have the needs of local communities or indigenous peoples been addressed?
