forest certification in latvia 203 Forest Certification in Latvia Ansis Actiņŝ* and Mara Kore** abstract Latvia has a considerable amount of forested land — 2.85 million hectares, constituting 44 percent of its total area. Approximately half is owned by the state and most of the remainder is distributed among 150,000 private owners. Latvia’s economy is highly dependent on timber as its primary natural resource and main export product. These factors make Latvia an interesting case in which to follow the development of the forest certification process. The two certification programs currently operating in Latvia are FSC and PEFC. In 2003 Latvia’s state forests (the State Joint Stock Company charged with management of about one half of Latvia’s forestland) completed certification of its forests under FSC. In addition, the Riga municipal forests are certified (primarily under FSC), and a growing number of hectares of private forested land are coming under group certification through both FSC and PEFC (although there is still relatively little private land certified under either scheme). At this point all indications point toward FSC as the leading certification scheme in Latvia. Although it is too early to tell what the full economic and ecological implications of certification will be, one significant effect of the certification process so far has been to improve communication among all members of the forest sector. * Ansis Actiņŝ, M.Sc.
