About Forest Stewardship Council™(FSC™)

FSC is a non-profit organization that provides a proven sustainable forest management solution. Currently, over 238 million hectares of forest worldwide is certified according to FSC standards. It is widely regarded as the most rigorous forest certification system among NGOs, consumers, and businesses alike to tackle today’s deforestation, climate, and biodiversity challenges. The FSC forest management standard is based on ten core principles designed to address a broad range of environmental, social, and economic factors. FSC’s “check tree” label is found on millions of forest-based products and verifies that they are sustainably sourced, from forest to consumer. www.fsc.org.

About Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park

Covering 4000km2 of intact primary rainforest, Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park harbors globally important populations of iconic endangered mammals such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and forest elephants.

For almost 30 years, this unique ecosystem has been protected by the combined efforts of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Ministry of Forest Economy (MEF) resulting in an innovative public-private partnership permitted delegated management in 2014 for 25 years.

The Park relies on the support of the surrounding communities, who are involved in conservation decision-making, employed by the park, and benefit from the positive impacts of conservation (such as access to water, health care and education).

The Park deploys over 100 rangers to combat poaching and is a regional leader in implementing scientific research to better understand this unique environment.

Thanks to the good collaboration with the CIB, the park has been able to extend its anti-poaching activities since 1999 into the neighboring forestry concessions, creating a buffer zone that gives better protection to the park.

In 2012, the Park became an UNESCO World Heritage Site, marking global recondition for its outstanding biodiversity.
