“…Such problems cannot be addressed effectively when an outbreak has erupted, but rather require extensive and long-term institutional and legislative adaptation (e.g. improved education, development of compensation payment systems; [189,190]).…”

“…Different countries and regions thus have different views on the role of different value chains. For example, in Slovakia some stakeholders argue that protected areas have negative socio-economic impacts in terms of job losses and lower revenues in wood-processing (Kovalčík et al 2018 ). On the contrary, rural areas in NW Russia and Costa Rica enjoy considerable tourism benefits.…”

Exploitation of natural forests forms expanding frontiers. Simultaneously, protected area frontiers aim at maintaining functional habitat networks. To assess net effects of these frontiers, we examined 16 case study areas on five continents. We (1) mapped protected area instruments, (2) assessed their effectiveness, (3) mapped policy implementation tools, and (4) effects on protected areas originating from their surroundings. Results are given as follows: (1) conservation instruments covered 3–77%, (2) effectiveness of habitat networks depended on representativeness, habitat quality, functional connectivity, resource extraction in protected areas, time for landscape restoration, “paper parks”, “fortress conservation”, and data access, (3) regulatory policy instruments dominated over economic and informational, (4) negative matrix effects dominated over positive ones (protective forests, buffer zones, inaccessibility), which were restricted to former USSR and Costa Rica. Despite evidence-based knowledge about conservation targets, the importance of spatial segregation of conservation and use, and traditional knowledge, the trajectories for biodiversity conservation were generally negative.

“…Due to the special position of forestry it is necessary to find methods how to modify and use the general rules of sustainability reporting. Practical examples show how to handle externalities and their use in the methods of sustainability accounting (Kovalčík et al 2012) (Fig. 1).…”

Specifics in the introduction of sustainability reporting by companies in the forestry sector

Sustainability reporting is constantly paid attention by companies for its economic, environmental and social benefits. It supports making use of the wide potential for further development of enterprises and society. Individual sectors use types of indicators that correspond to their specifics. It is also the case of the forestry sector, which is especially characterized by a number of non-market outputs. However, we can find also other specific indicators that are relevant to forest management. The paper proposes indicators for sustainability reporting, which are not part of usual methodologies. These indicators will contribute not only to the formal preparation of sustainability reporting, but so that its benefits would be of significant influence on the development of forest enterprises and the forestry sector using its potential in all areas.
