What proportion of FSC certified area lies in the tropics?
15 million hectares of tropical forest are FSC certified, representing 14 percent of the total global area certified to the FSC Principles and Criteria. However, the number of certificates paints a different picture: one in five certificates lies in the tropics. The top three countries with the highest total area are Brazil, Bolivia and the Republic of Congo. Figures from March 2009.
