👉 The Hardwood Project is an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming the global wood industry by promoting sustainable forestry practices, improving supply chain transparency, and fostering economic growth in forest-dependent communities. It seeks to address deforestation and environmental degradation by encouraging the use of responsibly sourced hardwoods, which are often more durable and versatile than their softwood counterparts. The project involves collaboration among governments, NGOs, businesses, and local communities to develop standards, certifications, and market mechanisms that ensure wood products are harvested in an environmentally friendly and socially equitable manner. By doing so, it aims to create a more resilient and sustainable forestry sector that benefits both the planet and people.
