Stories from the forest A look into FSC-certified forests across the globe There are over 160 million hectares of forests under FSC certification, and each one of them has its own story. From the highlands of Scotland to the deep jungles of Mexico, from the dry woodlands of Uganda to the cloud forests of China - healthy forests help life on earth thrive. Equally governed by environmental, social, and economic perspectives, FSC helps forest managers, smallholders, and governments ensure thriving forest ecosystems and safeguard the livelihoods of forest communities.
