It appears that the auditing of forestry firms to ensure that their forestry operations are well and properly done, are sustainable across the landscape; respect indigenous values, respect all aspects of biodiversity; respect all water bodies, ensure all streams and riparian areas are well protected with all being in the best interests of the public who own them—is a complete sham.
Like the forest companies, the auditing firms do their work to make money—and say and do whatever it takes to ensure they are very successful in doing this.
The lesson we should all learn from this is that: No one should ever rely on any auditor who is paid by the entity they are auditing to produce a report that is fully honest.
In the Boundary area we have definite proof of this folly involving SFI.
