Why is the certification of the forest important?
Forests have been described as the lungs of the earth. As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere helping to counteract the increase of emissions from human activity. The captured carbon is retained but the intake reduces dramatically when the tree reaches maturity.
To achieve certification, the forest must be regenerated when mature trees are felled by planting young saplings hungry for carbon dioxide to help them develop and grow.
