In carrying out this important work, FSC Canada has assembled six Technical Expert Panels (TEPs) to assist with the development of the Canadian Forest Management(FM) Standard in six key thematic areas. These Panels will provide technical guidance and recommendations to FSC Canada to be considered when developing normative measures e.g. indicators and supplementary materials (where needed).
The six Technical Expert Panels are the following:
- Principle 6, 9 and 10 (from the new Principles & Criteria - v.5): Ecological & Operational Consideration
- Species at Risk (Caribou)
- Pesticides, Conversion and Invasive Species
- Principle 3: Aboriginal Rights, including Free, Prior and Informed Consent
- Community and Stakeholder Rights (legal and customary)
- Scale, Intensity and Risk (SIR), including Small and Low Intensity Managed Forests (SLIMF)
FSC Canada is very pleased to have a total of 29 experts to participate in these 6 panels and would like to thank them for their participation in this important initiative.
