The Performance and Standard Unit (PSU) of FSC International has just approved a new interpretation of the FSC National Forest Stewardship Standard of Canada (FSC-STD-CAN-01-2018) related to the caribou indicator.

FSC Canada and its Standard Development Group have intensively worked with the PSU and with experts, as needed, to develop a precise and clear interpretation. The purpose of this interpretation is to answer questions related to the FSC National Forest Stewardship Standard of Canada (FSC-STD-CAN-01-2018), helping to clarify the intent of a requirement. Interpretations are normative and replace any “recommendations” that may have been shared in the past.

The interpretation is available in English and French and can be found (here).
