"Concessions certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) have a greater richness of species such as amphibians, insects and monkeys than non-FSC logging concessions"
(WWF, 2019)
- Large mammals such as jaguars can thrive in sustainably managed forests (WWF, 2019).
- Low-impact logging following the FSC standard can be compatible with biodiversity conservation (WWF, 2019)
- Responsible, well-managed logging concessions can help prevent deforestation by adding economic value to forests, while also acting as wildlife corridors or buffer zones around protected areas (WWF, 2019).
- The community of large vertebrate species remains intact in areas subjected to reduced impact logging (Roopsind et al., 2017).
- FSC and PEFC certified forests have strong positive impacts on fauna; they succeed in preserving animal species, including ones listed as endangered and vulnerable by IUCN (Di Girolami & Arts, 2018).
- Great apes benefit from certified logging (Van Kreveld & Roerhorst, 2010)
- Implementation of SFM can be an effective investment in wildlife conservation in tropical rainforests (Samejima et al., 2012).
- The application of SFM to degraded natural production forests could result in greater diversity and abundance of vertebrate species (Imai et al., 2009).
