The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) has helped bring about a  paradigm shift from previous practices to profitable and environmentally responsible production of charcoal by Namibian communities. 

Quietly winding its way through the woodlands in eastern Zambia, the Luangwa river passes through the Mbizi Farm, where it is welcomed and celebrated as the aorta of this region, delivering much needed water to villages, farmers and other communities.  Where it reaches the FSC™ certified Mbizi Safari Ranch, it takes a breather from the many demands it endures along its long and arduous journey.

Upcoming documentary shows how well-managed logging concessions are areas where animals and ecosystems thrive and support highly sensitive species such as gorillas survive.
