FSC in the UK

摘要

There are rumours going around that the FSC certified forest area in the UK is decreasing. There are probably also those who would be glad if it was so, as they see forest management certification as more relevant in the tropics than in Europe. In this article, I'm going to try to explain what is actually happening to the certified forest area (and, more importantly for many in the industry, certified timber volume), and why we believe FSC is relevant in the UK.
