• Carbon Performance 7
Applicability
• No wetland • Not drained or irrigated • No plaughing more than 10 % • Baseline not increasing (A/R)
Other emissions
• Fuel for machines = 0 • Fertilizer used = 0 • CO2 of wood + 10% (N2O)

Permanence
Backstops 1. Sustainability requirements
2. Frequent Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)
3. Compliance pathway
a) Retiring CO2-certificates from the same activity (have not been sold) b) Adding additional activity areas c) Re-implementing activities d) Purchase CO2-certificates from other Gold Standard activities
1. Project owner’s liability

Improved Forest Management (IFM)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
16
Stop Logging (SL)
Stop Logging (SL): Unsustainable (upper) or sustainable (lower) logging baseline -active (left) or planned (right) at project start - is prevented for forest stocks to recover, respectively remain unchanged.
17
Reduced Impact Operations (RI)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
Reduced Impact Operations (RI): Unsustainable (upper) or sustainable (lower) logging baseline stocks are maintained or increased by applying improved harvesting and management techniques.
IFM Standards Study - Summary Presentation for Discussion 18
Extension of Rotation Age (ER)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
Extension of Rotation Age (ER): Sustainable logging baseline stocks are increased by extending rotation age, respectively extending cutting cycles.
IFM Standards Study - Summary Presentation for Discussion 19
Increased Growth Management (IG)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
Increased Growth Management (IG): Sustainable logging baseline stocks are increased by actively supporting growth. e.g. through candidate selection and thinning or competing species management.
IFM Standards Study - Summary Presentation for Discussion 20
Rehabilitation (RE)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
Rehabilitation (RE): Unsustainable (upper) or sustainable (lower) logging baseline stocks are increased. Forest degradation is halted and forests are restored and sustainably managed by actively supporting regeneration. Understocked managed forests are improved by actively supporting regeneration. Note: If no harvesting is done in project area, the RE approach is identical to a stop logging (SL) project (except that recovery is actively supported)
IFM Standards Study - Summary Presentation for Discussion 21
Prevent Fires and Pests (PF)
Baseline Project (dotted lines indicate long-term average)
Prevention of Fires and Pests (PF): Uncontrolled loss of forest stocks due to fires and/or pests are halted by introducing protection or sustainable management schemes. Note: Asides from the difference in baseline, these activities are identical to SL and RI projects, respectively.
