Kenya - A Kenyan project backed by conservation group WWF that promotes carvings from sustainably harvested wood has been accredited with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, for the first time in the nation's history.

Dr Susanne Schmitt, International Plants Conservation Officer for WWF: "It is a huge achievement that 'good woods' have now been FSC certified. It is a win-win situation where the purchase of a certified carving helps to conserve threatened Eastern African forests whilst securing carvers' livelihoods and providing income to coastal farmers,"
