What proportion of FSC certified area is plantation?
More than 8 million hectares of plantations are FSC certified. This represents roughly seven percent of the total area globally certified to the FSC Principles and Criteria. These certificates primarily lie in Brazil, South Africa and the UK. A further 35 million hectares of mixed forests are certified – a mix of semi-natural and mixed plantation and natural forests. Figures from March 2008. For more exact figures, read our latest Global FSC certificates: types and distribution publication online.
