The recently redeveloped “naTUra” community forest was inaugurated the other morning in Malborghetto-Valbruna (Udine), which was awarded the «sustainable forest management» certificate for complying with the PEFC ITA 1000:2015 standards and PEFC ITA 1001:2015.
The certification was delivered by Alessia Vedovato, consultant for PEFC Italia : «The certification represents the goal of a path that led to the analysis of different criteria – explained the consultant -; among these, the maintenance and improvement of forest resources, of the faunal and floral ecosystem, of the defense of the soil and water, but also of the development of the economic ecosystem in an area, such as that of the Tarvisio forest, where there are multiple huts and refuges that can benefit from the certification obtained from the community forest".
The Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) , i.e. the "Programme for the evaluation of forest certification schemes", was released by the independent certification body CSQA. Established in Europe in 1999, following the 1992 Rio conference , PEFC Italy ensures that forests are managed in line with stringent environmental, social and economic requirements.
