What it is
The BESCO Stewardship Certificate is a signed, sealed snapshot of a piece of land's ecological condition at a point in time. It is generated during a Sielsgrond Programme and can support a funder's own disclosure about that land.

The evidence generated during a Sielsgrond Programme.
What it is not
The BESCO Stewardship Certificate is not itself a legal claim — the party using it remains responsible for the legal adequacy of what they say about it. It is also not the same thing as BESCO, Buktika's broader project viability study, or a BESCO-Sprint, the field visit that produces this certificate — those are separate instruments, each with their own scope.
