Certified forestry refers to the practice of managing forests in a sustainable manner, ensuring that they meet specific environmental, social, and economic standards. This certification is often granted by independent organizations, which assess the forest management practices against established criteria. The goal is to promote responsible forest management that protects ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and the rights of local communities. Certification programs, such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), provide guidelines for sustainable practices. These programs help consumers identify products sourced from responsibly managed forests, encouraging the use of wood and paper products that support environmental conservation and sustainable resource use.
