Indicators are defined as quantitative and qualitative characteristics used to describe and monitor these components.
The annex specifies the indicators and organizes them into tables covering each criterion, including data on forest area, reforestation activities, protection measures, forest use, and policy-related information. It also defines the procedures for data collection, including the entities responsible for providing information and the structure in which the data is to be reported. The Order establishes a system for the annual collection, submission, and consolidation of data, with specified deadlines for reporting by the responsible bodies. The collected information is used for the analysis of indicators related to sustainable forest management.
