The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) is to assess the Belarusian Association of Forest Certification (BAFC) for inclusion in its international programme.
The BAFC was founded in 2005 and is aimed at promoting sustainable forest management practices in the country.
PEFC has called for feedback and comments from stakeholders and the general public as part of its consultation process.
The consultation period is open for 60 days and is due to close on August 22, with the PEFC Council and its Panel of Experts deciding on the BAFC’s inclusion shortly after.
