Congo Basin passes 1 million ha milestone in swing to sustainable forestry
WWF today announced that more than one million hectares of Congo Basin forests have achieved certification under the world’s leading sustainable forestry scheme.

It is also important in sequestering carbon and safeguarding water supply and quality.
