Default Invest in the forests of the future

hmmm.... their web site says they manage teak plantations and they're FSC
approved. I thought FSC didn't like plantations?

FSC is very big on plantations and managed forests. Almost all FSC-wood
comes from such sources. The aim is to preserve natural ("old growth")
forests and relatively little wood can be harvested there.

FSC-plantations should be a tool to reclaim wasted land. This in contrast to
current practice in the tropics where primal forests are cut to clear space
to establish oil palm or rubber plantations
