Currently, there are several certifications for sustainable wood management that a company committed to the environment and with a clear intention of protecting forests should comply with. We need to build and create to live, but we have the responsibility to exploit resources such as a forest with the least ecological footprint and regenerate it to avoid losing it. We cannot ignore the importance of protecting forests today more than ever.
For this reason, an accredited and independent certifying entity visits us periodically to evaluate our work and conduct audits. This way, we can obtain the corresponding seal of certifications for sustainable wood management.
Protecting forests is more than necessary
The ecosystems existing in forests contribute to maintaining balance in the biosphere. Forests help to cope with dangerous natural phenomena such as heavy rains, floods, and hurricane winds. They also prevent soil erosion.
Furthermore, they promote biodiversity, as they host the majority of terrestrial animals and plants on the planet, as specified by the FAO. Protecting them is of vital importance to mitigate the effects of climate change and to be able to develop our socio-economic activities sustainably now and in the future.
