Effects of national community-based forest certification on forest management and timber marketing: a case study of Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia/Effets de la certification forestiere communautaire nationale sur la gestion des forets et de la commercialisation du bois: une etude du cas de Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesie/Efectos de la certificacion nacional para bosques comunitarios sobre

This study clarified the changes in forest management and timber marketing after acquisition of the Indonesian Ecolabelling Institute's community-based forest certification through a case of Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The certification had good effects to improve forest management, although any apparent effects on timber marketing were not observed. Meanwhile, this study observed the potential of certification to help with the acquisition of the Indonesia Timber Legality Assurance System certification under the Voluntary Partnership Agreement of Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade. In order to disseminate the forest certification to small-scale forestry it is necessary to promote selling certified timber and generate a premium price for smallholders. In particular, the challenges of Chain of Custody and the inherent nature of small-scale forestry should be addressed. The dissemination of national forest certification, which provides more appropriate benefits for smallholders and provokes their motivation for sustainable forest management, still remains a big challenge in Indonesia. Keywords: national forest certification, small-scale forestry, forest management, timber marketing, Indonesia Cette etude a clarifie les changements dans la gestion des forets et la commercialisation du bois apres l'acquisition de la certification forestiere communautaire de l'Institut indonesien d'eco-etiquetage a travers d'un cas de Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesie. La certification a eu de bonnes repercutions pour ameliorer la gestion des forets; cependant, aucun effet apparent sur la commercialisation du bois ont ete observes. De ce fait, cette etude a observe le potentiel de la certification pour aidera l'acquisition du Systeme de Certification de Verification de la Legalite du Bois d'Indonesie sous l'Accord de Partenariat Volontaire Application des Reglementations Forestieres, de Gouvernance et d'Echanges Commerciaux. Afin de diffuser la certification des forets a la foresterie a petite echelle, il est necessaire de promouvoir la vente de bois certifie et de generer une prime pour les petits exploitants. Notamment les defis de la Chaine de Controle et de la nature inherente de la foresterie a petite echelle doivent etre adresses. La diffusion de la certification forestierenationale, qui fournit des prestations plus appropriees pour les petits exploitants et provoque leur motivation pour la gestion durable des forets, reste un grand defi en Indonesie.
