Today, on International Day for Biodiversity, we reflect on the urgent need to protect and restore nature. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a global roap, but achieving these goals requires commitment at every level. FSC plays a key role in setting the highest biodiversity conservation standards in forestry. In many cases, FSC requirements go beyond national laws, ensuring forests are managed for long-term ecological and social benefits: In the US, western Oregon: 🐟 FSC-certified forests include stricter buffer zones around salmon-bearing streams than legally required, ensuring freshwater biodiversity is protected. 🦎 The Cascade torrent salamander - a species of concern in this area - is protected in FSC-certified forests, even though there is no such legislative requirement in Oregon. 🌳 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/de_rxkSq Protecting biodiversity is a collective responsibility. Governments, businesses, and individuals must all take action. Choosing FSC-certified products and solutions is a tangible way to forests that sustain life on Earth. #BiodiversityDay #SustainableForestry #ForestsForAllForever

A new study by Milieu on behalf of the EU Commission confirms: FSC standards already reflect key elements of Closer-to-Nature Forest Management (#CNF) principles across several EU countries. This alignment stems from our commitment to advancing sustainable forest management and biodiversity protection. Our core principle is continuous improvement. With over 70 million hectares certified in Europe and more than 160 million globally, the FSC system combines field expertise with innovation such as satellite monitoring and blockchain. We will discuss the evolution of our system and standards at the FSC General Assembly in Panama in October 2025. “To be credible, both forest management and certification must evolve – guided by science, regulation, and social and environmental needs. That’s exactly what we do at FSC,” said Matteo Mascolo, EU Affairs Manager at FSC International. Read our press release here: https://bit.ly/45atS4Q
