An aerial view of eucalyptus forests in<br />

Guangxi Province, China. In partnership<br />

with WWF, we have transitioned approximately<br />

320,000 acres of forest in China<br />

into sustainable management.<br />

WWF has also secured commitments from eight forestry companies,<br />

representing over 450,000 acres, to improve their forest management<br />

practices. These companies are located in seven provinces of southern<br />

China⁹ that are at the heart of the commercial timber production<br />

area in China. Their experiences will not only benefit their own forest<br />

management, but also inform the development of a Best Practices<br />

Guideline, which is designed to influence other forest managers<br />

throughout the country.<br />

Our ambition is to shift the dynamics of the world’s paper market in both<br />

the short and long term, and in the process protect some of the world’s<br />

most important forests.<br />
