The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) mission is to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.

The Guidelines for the identification, management and monitoring of High Conservation Values (HCV) in the Congo Basin forests are being finalized by the Congo Basin HCV Regional Working Group (HCV-RWG).

FSC Friday 2021 was a great success, with the  theme  “Save our Forests. Save our Climate” really striking a chord with participants at events and social media as well as online audiences around the world.

Mr Price Group has signed a promotional license agreement with FSC® Southern African for use in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Mr Price Group is an omni- channel fashion- value retailer, based in South Africa.

One of the major issues of discussion in the last  few years in the forestry sector is ecosystem services. How can they be implemented in the field? What is their potential to assure funding for the sustainable forestry activities in the Congo Basin?
