Forest certification guarantees that the wood products we buy and use come from a responsibly managed forest. It is therefore important to be able to recognize the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label, since this means that these are products from an FSC certified forest and backed by a chain of custody certificate, and can thus be labeled with the registered trademark of the FSC.
The purchase of an FSC certified product guarantees the consumer that he is contributing to forest conservation and supporting responsible forest management through his purchase.
Bolivia is a leader in voluntary forest certification under the FSC label, with 2,042,856 million hectares of forest under sustainable management. However, Bolivia annually looses 290,000 hectares of forest due to illegal logging and deforestation. 75% of this deforestation takes place in the department of Santa Cruz.
