Seventy million acres of private and public U.S. forests are certified to the Sustainable Forest Initiative’s forest management standard, including in many regions with high concentration of imperiled plant species.
The Plant Conservation Association will hold a How Certified Sustainable Forestry Can Support Conservation of Imperiled Plants Habitat online program on September 9th from 2 to 4 pm EST.
Among their multiple conservation objectives, SFI standards require identification and protection of G1 and G2 species, including plants, which highlights the importance of accessible, accurate information on plant conservation status for forest managers and certification auditors.
In this webinar, Dr. Healey Hamilton from SFI will discuss trends in the forestry sector driving stronger engagement with biodiversity information, will share several efforts underway at SFI to improve biodiversity data access and application by the SFI community, and will highlight the role of the PCA community in supporting the conservation outcomes of sustainable forest management.
