美國明尼蘇達州州長鮑蘭迪(Tim Pawlenty)6日宣佈,該州佔地480萬英畝之森林地已榮獲永續發展評鑑之認定。這項成為永續發展地位的殊榮使得明尼蘇達州躍居美國境內最大公認的永續森林地。此外,當今正值綠色消費主義興起,對獲證林木製品的市場需求提高,明州生產者即獨享優惠的收益價格,使得此認證更顯價值。
Minnesota State Forests Certified Sustainable
Minnesota state forest land covering 4.8 million acres has been certified as sustainable, Governor Tim Pawlenty announced on Friday. The newly awarded sustainable status makes Minnesota the largest certified forest land base in the United States. Certification is valuable as conservation-minded consumers increase the demand for certified forest products, enabling Minnesota producers to receive a premium price.
