Bolivia is the world leader in voluntary forest certification with more than 2 million hectares certified in tropical forests. According to the FSC, Bolivia’s FSC certified wood products exports are worth about USD16 million annually, about 25% of total wood products. Only those organizations or companies with chain of custody certification can use FSC stamps in their products.

The FSC has an international office located in Bonn, Germany, four regional offices (Europe, America, Africa and Oceania - South East Asia) and a network of National Initiatives. In Bolivia the FSC National Initiative is the Bolivian Council for Voluntary forest certification - CFV.
