Text Principle 3
Forest is managed in the multi-stakeholder environment Criterion 3.1
Rights of stakeholders are established fairly and acknowledged Criterion 3.2
Fair benefit distribution among the stakeholders Criterion 3.3
All relevant stakeholders have a learning capacity in relation to the complexity of forest ecosystem management
4.1.2.5. The Complete CI Set
The complete scientific knowledge of SFM as described previously, and its indicators are shown in Table 4.4. Each criterion followed by indicators was to
be used as a quantitative or qualitative attribute of that criterion. As previously mentioned there are three types of criteria and indicators i.e. input, process and
outcome. The table also shows the type of each item.
