Sustainable forest management for a better tomorrow

Explore how B.C.'s forests combine sustainable practices, community empowerment, and global certifications to lead the fight against climate change.

Countries with expansive forest cover play a significant role in combating climate change by acting as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Canada, renowned for its sustainable forestry, is a prime example, particularly in the province of British Columbia (B.C.). Located on Canada's western edge, B.C.'s forests lead the way in certified wood production, harvested through sustainable practices that adhere to stringent forest management regulations. These comprehensive practices meet global certification standards, enhancing international trade by delivering quality and authenticity, as evidenced by Canadian Wood species.
