Evaluation and <strong>assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> Uruguayan Forest Certification scheme <strong>against</strong> the requirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>PEFC</strong> Council<br />
benefit to society.<br />
4.2 e The Standard requires the protection<br />
<strong>of</strong> natural forests, water and soil<br />
resources and biodiversity during forest<br />
management and harvesting.<br />
4.2 f The Standard requires infrastructure to<br />
be planned, constructed and<br />
maintained to “accomplish a<br />
Sustainable Forest Management”.<br />
Delivery <strong>of</strong> sustainable forest<br />
management explicitly requires<br />
damage minimisation to ecosystems.<br />
4.2 g The Standard requires forest<br />
management practices to conserve<br />
native plant and animal species,<br />
control exotic animal and plant species<br />
that might represent a threat or pest<br />
and control animal load in areas under<br />
husbandry and/or joint use.<br />
4.2 h The Standard requires silvicultural<br />
practices to include procedures for<br />
conservation <strong>of</strong> biological diversity<br />
through retention <strong>of</strong> dead and fallen<br />
and standing for fauna habitats and<br />
maintenance <strong>of</strong> ageing forests <strong>of</strong> “rare<br />
or singular species”. The Standard also<br />
requires forest management practices<br />
to consider “the potential effects <strong>of</strong><br />
these measures on the safety <strong>of</strong> people<br />
and the protection and stability <strong>of</strong><br />
forests and surrounding ecosystems<br />
simultaneously”.<br />
4.2 i The Standard requires the conservation<br />
<strong>of</strong> sites <strong>of</strong> special biotypes (including<br />
catchment, wetlands and rocky<br />
surfaces) and their restoration if<br />
appropriate.<br />

5.1 Guidelines for forest management planning<br />
5.1 a The Standard requires forest<br />
management planning to maintain and<br />
improve the protective functions <strong>of</strong><br />
forests by “seeking a balance between<br />
conservation <strong>of</strong> natural resources,<br />
historic-cultural and socio-economic<br />
aspects, productivity (technical,<br />
economic and financial) and general<br />
society’s well being”. Key components<br />
