FSC FM standards cover over 5 million ha of forests in the Adria-Balkan Region
Over 5 million hectares of forest area in the Adria-Balkan Region are responsively managed in compliance with locally adapted FSC forest management standards.
A valid FSC FM standard can be developed either by a national Standard developing group (SDG) (e.g. Bosnia and Herzegovina), or by an accredited certification body when a local SDG is not formed (e.g. Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia).
