Forest certification programs like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) focus on ensuring sustainable forest management.

The FSC certification ensures that forests are managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. This includes practices like protecting biodiversity, maintaining water quality, respecting indigenous land rights, and preventing deforestation. FSC-certified forests are carefully monitored to ensure they meet high standards of sustainability, helping to balance the need for timber production with the long-term health of the ecosystem. This certification is widely recognized and aims to promote responsible forestry practices globally.
