Our projects
Sustainable charcoal traceability for enhanced forest protection and community livelihoods
Innovation
Cambodia relies on wood fuels to meet its energy demand, but has the highest rate of deforestation in Southeast Asia. This project looks to ensure the traceability of sustainable charcoal through the development of chain of custody certification.
Exploring certification solutions for Trees outside Forests
Innovation
Trees outside Forests were traditionally outside the scope of PEFC ‘forest’ certification, but with our latest Sustainable Forest Management benchmark standard, this has changed.
Deploying landscape management plans in the Red Hills of Florida
Innovation
Family forest owners in the Southern US produce 60% of the region's wood fibre, but their rate of certification remains low. This project will make certification more accessible through an innovative landscape management plan.
Generating new knowledge on carbon stocks in managed tropical forests
Research
Supporting CIRAD to generate new knowledge on the long-term impacts of timber extraction on both carbon stocks and timber recovery in the humid tropics.
Using remote sensing to increase access to sustainable forest management information
Innovation
With remote sensing an increasingly important tool within the forestry sector, we are supported the development of a web-based platform to monitor the sustainable management of forests in Finland using open-source satellite imagery.
