- W2187029992 abstract "Indicators are fundamental to forest sustainability. Without measures how can we know whether we are succeeding or failing at sustaining society’s forest values? The use of indicators for assessing forest values came on the scene in North America through an international effort called the Montreal Process in the mid 1990s. Montreal Criteria and Indicators were designed for nations, but many other jurisdictions, such as states, counties, communities, and forest certification systems for single ownerships also have now developed indicator systems. What has been learned from these indicator efforts? Are these systems really helping us assess forest sustainability? Are decision makers using these indicators to inform their decisions? In September 2006, 23 people from across the U.S. with experience in selecting and/or using indicators convened in Baltimore, Maryland to discuss lessons learned from their experience with indicators. Our approach was to discuss and answer together a series of questions posed in advance of the conference, such as “what is the purpose of indicators?”, “who are indicators for?”, “who should be involved in indicator selection?”, and “should numerical targets be set for indicators?”. Participants came from many different geographic areas and worked at many different scales, from the community level to the national scale. Spatial scale turned out to be critically important in terms of how indicators were selected and used. Indicators derived from small-scale efforts (i.e., communities) resonated more with the citizenry, whereas larger-scaled efforts were more important to policy makers. Scalable indicators that can be used at local and national scales make intuitive sense, but what people value about forests can be very different in different places, and thus different indicators may be needed. The selection and use of indicators is not about the indicators themselves, but about having the larger social conversation about what people want to sustain within their forests. Through the collective experiences of the participants, this report sheds light on a number of issues in the selection and use of indicators in forest sustainability that continue to confuse many people. We hope this report is especially helpful to any group that may be planning to develop forest sustainability indicators for their community, state, ownership, region, or nation." @default.
