By the time I've reached Google searches I can tell the SFP are going to be World Savers...and I'm right, they're so sustainable they don't even use computers to update the website!

Anyway, back to business:
- What impact are these initiatives having? Can you cite short examples of impact?
Well, this initiative aims to raise awareness and document initatives into sustaining rests and communities and assists others to integrate this innovation into policy and practice. It generates impact by:
- Identifying key sustainable forestry issues and trends
- Designing and conducting sustainable forestry research
- Developing education and training materials and events
- Providing assistance services to organizations and individuals interested in sustainable forestry issues.
They show(ed) good intentions...but having noticed this website page was last updated in 2008 I'm starting to wonder if they've fallen by the wayside.
Their "latest" projects from 2011 give impact by raising awareness to the public on various issues regarding societal interaction with forests.
Truth be told I haven't read these in depth, but if they can't (for whatever reason) update a website in over three years or more, I can't be mithered to read their "Current" projects.
- How are they proving able to cover the three pillars of sustainability: environmental protection, social equity and economic viability? Or if not, which ones don’t they cover?
The goals of the SFP are all aimed at raising awareness.
From the examples I have read, it seems they cover vaguely the pillars of sustainability. By raising awareness through project reporting they promote environmental protection and social equity.
Without going in to these in depth it doesn't seem like they really cover economic viability - and even if I did research this in depth - would the outcomes themselves be viable?
The data itself is three years out of date...Any Impact they had has now been superseded.
