PRINCIPLE # 8: MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT Monitoring shall be conducted -- appropriate to the scale and intensity of forest management -- to assess the condition of the forest, yields of forest products, chain of custody, management activities and their social and environmental impacts. 8.1 The frequency and intensity of monitoring should be determined by the scale and intensity of forest management operations as well as the relative complexity and fragility of the affected environment. Monitoring procedures should be consistent and replicable over time to allow comparison of results and assessment of change. 8.1.1 A plan and design, based on consistent and replicable procedures, shall exist for periodic monitoring and reporting. 8.1.2 The frequency and intensity of monitoring shall be based on the size and complexity of the operation and the fragility of the resources under management. 8.1.3 Applicable to SLIMF FMEs only (Note: above indicators do not apply): FME shall conduct regular and consistent monitoring in connection with harvesting operations and reforestation. 8.2 Forest management should include the research and data collection needed to monitor, at a minimum, the following indicators: a. Yield of all forest products harvested; b. Growth rates, regeneration and condition of the forest; c. Composition and observed changes in the flora and fauna; d. Environmental and social impacts of harvesting and other operations; and, e. Costs, productivity, and efficiency of forest management. 8.2.1 The monitoring plan shall be technically sound and identify/describe observed changes in conditions in terms of: • Silviculture (growth rates, regeneration and forest condition, typically as part of a suitable continuous forest inventory system); • Commercial harvest including NTFPs; • Environment (environmental changes affecting flora, fauna, soil and water resources; outbreak of pests or invasive species, nesting sites for endangered bird species); • Socioeconomic aspects (forest management costs, yields of all products, and changes in community and worker relations or conditions, accident rates); and, • Identified high conservation value forest attributes. 8.2.2 Applicable to SLIMF FMEs only (Note: above indicators do not apply): FME shall at a minimum monitor and record information on the following conditions in terms of: • Amount of products harvested; • Regular monitoring of any identified high conservation values; • Invasive exotic species; • Growth and regeneration of managed species; • Post harvest inspection for erosion and estimate of residual basal area; and, • Periodic inventory (10 years).
