Certification, in its true form, provides consumers with a certain assurance that products were harvested in a sustainable matter. The FSC has credibility exactly because of the rigorous requirements for certification and follow-up audits. It is very dangerous to both certification as a conservation tool and insurance to the consumer that the product met a high level of standards. Caveat emptor!
