National Status 2000 is a first attempt to report on sustainable forest management using the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers' (CCFM) framework of criteria and indicators (C&I). The publication will facilitate knowledgeable domestic and international dialogue on sustainable forest management in Canada. It fulfills national and international commitments to report on the state of Canada's forests using a science-based framework of criteria and indicators. The report uses the best available information, which consists of limited detailed coverage of all forests in Canada, but represents realistic aggregated information on timber-related values for forest productive land. Where national coverage is not available, representative case studies are presented. Data sources include existing national data bases and aggregated provincial and territorial data. A total of 62 indicators are discussed, under 49 indicator reports.
