High conservation value forest (HCVF) is a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest management designation used to describe those forests who meet criteria defined by the FSC Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship. Specifically, high conservation value forests are those that possess one or more of the following attributes: # forest areas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant: concentrations of biodiversity values (e.g. endemism, endangered species, refugia); and/or large landscape-level forests, contained within, or containing the management unit, where viable populations of most if not all naturally occurring species exist in natural patterns of distribution and abundance # forest areas that are in or contain rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems # forest areas that provide basic services of nature in critical situations (e.g. watershed protection, erosion control) # forest areas fundamental to meeting basic needs of local communities (e.g. subsistence, health) and/or critical to local communities' traditional cultural identity (areas of cultural, ecological, economic or religious significance identified in cooperation with such local communities).〔FSC-STD-01-001 (April 2004)〕 ==History== The arose relatively recently in connection with the development of standards for the certification of forest management. The term was developed by the Forest Stewardship Council, A.C. (FSC), which is an international accreditation association1 incorporated in 1995. The FSC first started considering the term ''high conservation values'' in 1996 〔T.J. Synnott. 2005. ''Some notes on the early years of FSC''. Saltillo, Mexico, 19 November. 54 pp.〕 and formally included the term ''high conservation value forests'' in the FSC Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship in January 1999.〔 A number of terms have been used somewhat interchangeably with the term HCVF. To a certain extent this arises from translation between languages and to a certain extent it arises from varying approaches at interpretation. The Spanish version uses the terms ''bosques con alto valor de conservación'' (forests with high value of conservation) and ''bosques con alto valor para la conservación'' (forests with high value for conservation). As noted, the term HCVF arose following consideration of the term ''high conservation values''; this usage led to the concept of ''forests having high conservation values'' and ''forests with high conservation values''. Indeed, the term ''high conservation value'' is sometimes given its own acronym HCV; however, the FSC refers to an HCV as "attributes". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High conservation value forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
