As we approach the end of the year, we want to celebrate our collective achievements as a global organization of forest stewards. Together with our network and partners, we have worked to protect and conserve what lies at the core of our mission - biodiversity in the world’s forests.     Take a look at the key positive impacts that responsible forest stewardship has had on biodiversity in 2024!    🐘 FSC-certified forests in Gabon and the Republic of Congo support more large mammals, including endangered species, than non-certified forests.    🌳 In Poland, the updated FSC Standard prioritizes the protection of rare ecosystems and old-growth forests, supporting biodiversity hotspots and iconic species like the European bison and brown bear.    🌱 The Fast-Tracking Biodiversity Assessment, led in collaboration with @WWF and @IKEA, shows FSC certification’s positive impact, from protecting over 300 threatened species in Brazil to setting aside 460% more area for forest conservation than required by law in Finland.    These efforts highlight the critical role of sustainable forestry in protecting biodiversity.

Communities, family forest owners, and Indigenous Peoples around the world are the backbone of sustainable forestry. With FSC’s Community and Family Forests Toolbox, they manage forests responsibly - fostering resilient ecosystems and sustainable livelihoods. This year, we have witnessed incredible achievements from smallholders around the world. They are making a big impact on our forests and communities in Ecuador, where Aglomerados Cotopaxi leads sustainable forest management, preserving biodiversity and supporting local livelihoods. In Eastern Uganda, the restoration of the West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve showcases the power of collaboration, revitalizing ecosystems and supporting communities under the FSC certification.

This year, companies began actively preparing for the upcoming European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Amid uncertainties caused by new amendments that surfaced late in the year, many companies had to continue working to understand their obligations and find compliance solutions. Throughout 2024, we have been providing guidance to support businesses to ease their compliance journeys. FSC Certification ensures they are well-positioned for compliance, and the add-on solutions we launched this year are specifically designed to align with EUDR requirements. This work will remain a priority for us in 2025.
