摘要
Forest certification emerged in the early 1990s as a market-driven way to limit the destruction wrought on tropical forests, giving consumers, retailers, and manufacturers the opportunity to purchase products derived from environmentally and socially responsible forest operations. Although certification caught on in the developed world, it has struggled in developing countries, where it is most needed. What must happen to garner support for certification?
