Set of reference indicators for the evaluation of sustainable management of natural forests in Costa Rica: The relevance of the institutional dimension

Based on a set of reference indicators, a tool was designed for the evaluation “ex post” of sustainability of units of managed natural forests in Costa Rica. This set was developed using a hierarchical structure of principles, criteria and indicators of sustainability. The resulting reference list c...
