FSC

Forests are invaluable in terms of biodiversity and provide ecosystem services that are crucial to the survival of life on our planet. For example, more than 80% of terrestrial animal and plant species find their home in forests. And also some 1.6 billion people depend directly on forests for their livelihoods. Unfortunately, however, the pressure on our forests remains extremely high. Sustainable forest management is one of the solutions to protecting and preserving forests worldwide, and this is exactly what FSC is all about.
