  1. Roles and Responsibilities International • UN Conf on Env’t. & Dev’t. 1992 • Montreal Conf. on Sust. Dev’t. (Montreal Process) • Crit. & Indicators of Sust. Dev’t. discussed Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  2. Roles and Responsibilities International • 1995 Santiago Chile-Santiago Declaration • 7 national criteria, 67 indicators for defining, measuring and reporting on progress toward “conservation and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests” • Canada is signatory to process Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  3. Roles and Responsibilities International • Montreal Process C&I • Criterion 4.0- Cons. of Soil and Water • Indicator 21- Significant compaction or change in soil … • Indicator 22- Significantly diminished organic matter … Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  4. Roles and Responsibilities National • Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) • uses C&I framework to meet Montreal Process reporting obligations. • compliance with local standards • realizes that regional standards are desired Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  5. Roles and Responsibilities Provincial • CFSA – “MNR may direct forest operations to be stopped or modified if the operations are causing or are likely to cause site damage that impairs or is likely to impair Crown Forest Sustainability” (S.55) Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  6. Roles and Responsibilities Provincial • Guidelines – Forest Management Guidelines for the Protection of the Physical Environment 1997 (EA T&C 94b) • site damage control tied to FMP STP • BMP’s introduced • “standards” left as option in FMP production Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  7. Roles and Responsibilities Provincial • New “Stand and Site Guide” • standards (limits) for site damage defined • ensures compliance with standards. MNR Compliance Activities (CFSA) Careful Logging – Partial Cuts

  8. Roles and Responsibilities Provincial • req’t for Annual Compliance Plan • responsible for actioning non-compliant activities and affecting remedial activity Careful Logging – Partial Cuts
