This guide provides a generic framework for Integrated Pest, Disease and Weed Management (IPM) on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified estates, which may include indigenous forests and plantations.
The guidance document is written for standard developers and aims to support in the implementation of relevant International Generic Indicators (IGIS) by providing additional guidance in situations where a standard developer wishes to deviate from the default threshold of 80% of the Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) to be protected within the Management Unit (MU).
