In a global context where responsible consumption and sustainability are increasingly relevant, PEFC Argentina and PEFC Uruguay present their first 2025 Virtual Training Program on custody chain for forest base products, which will begin on April 23, with a duration of four months. The initiative is aimed at technicians and professionals linked to the processing and elaboration of forest products. The program is tariff, and aims to acquire the necessary competences to implement the requirements of the PEFC certification scheme, which will allow companies to reach and maintain high international standards in traceability and sustainability. When we talk about custody chain we refer to the process that ensures that wood and other products from native forests, plantations and recycled materials are traceable, sustainable and from controlled sources, explained Florencia Chavat, executive director of Cerfoar - Pefc Argentina and one of those responsible for the course.

25 -year study states that forests with five tree species capture 57% more carbon compared to monocultures

Mixed forests store more carbon and strengthen the fight against climate change forests play a fundamental role in carbon capture and storage, which helps reduce the speed of global warming. However, not all forests have the same capacity for carbon absorption and retention. A recent study of the University of Friburg has shown that mixed forests, those that contain various tree species, are significantly more efficient in carbon capture than monocultures. These findings reinforce the importance of promoting forest diversity as a key strategy against climate change.
