Without counting the invisible part, today still difficult to quantify

• Migration
• Genetic mutation
• Species disappearance
• Health Pollution (1/10 death ...)
• ….

• Academic findings are clear and uncontested

We carry the responsibility to be the last generation with the ability to stop climate change

Every 1000 bn t of CO2 = warming of 0.8-2.5oC

 Remaining CO2 budget to limit global warming < +2oC:

just 20 years! Source IPPC

Deforestation and forest degradation represent up to 20%

• f global anthropogenic CO2 emissions

The only way to stop deforestation is to turn environmental performance in revenue and so promote the usage of products coming from certified forests

Our Business: based on a triple bottom line

• Precious Woods conducts its business to create value in an

economically, environmentally and socially balanced manner.

Economic: We sustainably harvest and process hard wood locally in Africa and Brazil and market

tropical wood products globally. Non-commercial biomass is used for energy generation. We obtain compensation for associated CO2 emission reductions.

Environmental:

Sustainable forestry conserves large, potentially endangered forest areas and helps contain and counteract climate change. We set aside major areas for conservation.

Social: We provide employment and

education in disadvantaged regions. Sustainably managing tropical forest, we give local communities the prospect of a decent living.

COP 21 Paris agreements have officially recorded in Article 5, sustainable forest management practices as conservation principle to motivate its development

Article 5 / FCCC/CP/2015/L.9/Rev.1

• 1.Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and

reservoirs of greenhouse gases as referred to in Article 4, paragraph 1(d), of the Convention, including forests.

• 2. Parties are encouraged to take action to implement and support, including

through results-based payments, the existing framework as set out in related guidance and decisions already agreed under the Convention for: policy approaches and positive incentives for activities relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon importance

• f incentivizing, as appropriate, non-carbon benefits associated with such

approaches stocks in developing countries; and alternative policy approaches, such as joint mitigation and adaptation approaches for the integral and sustainable management of forests, …

« By promoting

sustainable forest management practices , Precious Woods is much more than a timber supplier »
