Healing the Landscape

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From recycled products to organic food, "environmentally friendly" is moving into the mainstream, including the forest industry. Retailers such as Home Depot have revised their purchasing and selling policies to give preference to certified wood. Forest Certification in Sustainable Development highlights the history, importance, and rewards of forest certification. The book discusses the issues involved in mainstream forestry as it is currently practiced, and what can be done to create sustainable forestry. The authors provide, step-by-step, the certification process as practiced by the Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood.
