Multi-criteria methods are used to integrate different stakeholders’ perceptions regarding social, environmental, and economic aspects of the forest's management. Using a range of internationally accepted criteria and indicators (C&I) schemes, a local set of C&I were developed to assess the forest's sustainability.
