This paper describes the purpose and effect of the forest certification system. We compared with the development of FSC and PEFC which are international forest certification. Furthermore, focusing on China's forest certification system, we clarified the development of governance and system of forest certification. The purpose of introducing a forest certification system in China is to preserve the forest environment, maintain sustainable forest management, expand trade, prevent illegal logging, and shift to a green consumption society. There are features not usually found in other countries. In this paper, we clarified this point along the history.
