Descripción
Community forestry has begun a way to manage forest by involving surrounding communities. Indonesia has 2.6 million hectares of community forest with potential wood stock 74.7 million m<sup>3 </sup>(Ministry of Forestry Statistical Report, 2014). It is also indicated that the amount of timber harvested by communities has increased during the last decade, reaching more than 5 million m<sup>3</sup> annually. When the logs production from the community forest tends to increase, its wood stock sustainability becomes concern to some stakeholders. Further, community forest holders who are typically small scale operations also become a consideration in implementing community forest certification. The study focus on the approach of IFCC and PEFC in building community forest certification scheme as a tool to enhance community capacity in managing the forest whilst also as a market-based instrument by linking market demands of sustainably-certified products with its producers. IFCC[1] has developed the community forest certification system with its objective to cooperate with multi stakeholders in enhancing community capacity to manage forest sustainably and meet the market demand. The development of IFCC standard for community forest was implemented in manners that are open, transparent and consensus-based.<br /> <br /> <br /> [1] IFCC is an organization of scheme owner and developer of sustainable forest management in Indonesia which has been endorsed by Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) since 2014.
