Did you know – globally, the world is losing 18.7 million acres of forests every year – equivalent to 27 soccer fields every minute! This loss is driven by demand for forest related products like timber, pulp, paper and rubber, as well as clearing forests for soyabean and palm oil plantations. Our needs for these products is only expected to grow along with accelerated economic development and increase in population.
The time has come that we meet our needs in a responsible way, while also ensuring that we protect, conserve and restore our forests – for the benefit of people, wildlife and millions of communities who depend on them. You can help change the story of our vanishing forests by supporting FSC certification. Everyone – from a forest owner, to manufacturer, brand or company, and consumer – is a critical link in this chain and has a role to play.
