Commentary
The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) is among the world's leaders in promoting sustainable forest management. AF&PA was instrumental in establishing the Roundtable on Sustainable Forests, a collaborative effort to implement the Montréal Process Criteria & Indicators (C&I) domestically. AF&PA developed the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® program, a comprehensive system designed to improve the sustainable management of forest lands. AF&PA can play an equally important role in refining C&I, says John Heissenbuttel, Vice President, Forest and Wood Products Division, AF&PA.
