FSC Ecosystem Services course
The FSC Ecosystem Services Procedure is a tool to incentivise the restoration and ongoing conservation of forests and the ecosystem services they provide. This includes biodiversity, carbon, water and soil protection, and recreation. The procedure helps to develop robust and verifiable ecosystem service claims that can be used to help promote and communicate the positive work done in a forest and to seek sponsorship for these efforts.
