No results found.Forest Stewardship Council responsible forest management certification ensures that - not only forests are managed through sustainable practices - but also that FSC certified forestry companies operate in a socially responsible manner, respecting the rights of the people that live in and depend on the forest. In order to achieve this, the involvement of indigenous and non-indigenous communities in the framework of FSC certification is key. This paper describes the various engagement opportunities that FSC certification offers to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities through practical case studies across the globe: Case #1: Sweden and Finland: Sami Indigenous People; Case #2: Mexico: Indigenous communities: Ixtlán de Juarez, Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro; Case #3: Peru: Indigenous communities: Belgica, Calleria, Buenos Aires, Junin Pablo, Roya, Nuevo Loreto; Case #4: Guatemala: Association of Forest Communities; Case #5: Chile: Mapuche Indigenous People. The case studies illustrate various types of collaboration: indigenous associations proactively involved in defining national FSC standards, Indigenous communities successfully managing Amazonian and coniferous natural forest, responsibilities of forest management enterprises towards communities (consultation and mitigation of impacts), positive engagement between FSC certified entities and Indigenous Peoples (conflict resolution), dispute resolution mechanisms, workshops on forestry topics involving Indigenous communities and the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in high level political discussions at FSC. These case studies demonstrate that FSC certification provides a solid foundation for the creation of engagement opportunities with Indigenous Peoples, benefiting the communities involved and delivering on its mission of promoting socially responsible forest management worldwide.
