[edit] Discussion
"FSC is the global and national leader in the development of standards for the certification of sustainable, well-managed forests. FSC-US is the national initiative of FSC International, and is considered one of the leading national offices in the effort to promote FSC certification around the globe...
"The Forest Stewardship Council, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is the global and national leader in the independent certification of forests managed to exemplary standards covering environmental, social and economic issues. FSC promotes responsible forest management by evaluating and accrediting certifiers, by encouraging the development of national and regional forest management standards, and by providing public education and information about independent, third-party certification as a tool for ensuring that the world's forests are protected for future generations.
"There are currently more than 23 million acres of FSC-certified forestland in the U.S. and more than 225 million acres globally. Approximately 16% of the world’s forests are certified according to FSC’s standards, and this number is growing quickly."
