After 15 years of forest certification and only few studies on its real impacts on forests, the paper deals with the key-question on how much has forest certification contribued to biodiversity conservation. The paper provides evidence from the field on the differences in the biodiversity management systems of two forest concessions, one certified and one not certified, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru. Results show that quantitative faunal surveys that commenced prior to certification revealed substantial benefits and served to build in-house monitoring capacity.

Abstract
After 15 years of forest certification and only few studies on its real impacts on forests, the paper deals with the key-question on how much has forest certification contribued to biodiversity conservation. The paper provides evidence from the field on the differences in the biodiversity management systems of two forest concessions, one certified and one not certified, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru. Results show that quantitative faunal surveys that commenced prior to certification revealed substantial benefits and served to build in-house monitoring capacity.
