Aiming to ensure that today's forest lands are there for tomorrow's generations, Xerox renewed its pledge of $1 million to The Nature Conservancy in 2010 to advance sustainable forestry practices with the objective of developing science-based tools, practices and systems that the paper industry can draw upon to better understand and manage ecologically important forest land. Xerox also offers a range of recycled and certified papers.
The grant, along with the support of Xerox people and its industry partners, is being used to:
- Enhance a forest data center for Canada's boreal forest, the largest block of contiguous intact forest left in the world
- Strengthen third-party forest certification standards that Xerox relies on to ensure that its paper is derived from responsibly managed forests
- Identify best forest biodiversity management practices; and to communicate them broadly with forest managers, paper suppliers and others.
Read about the latest accomplishments of the Xerox and Nature Conservancy partnership efforts in the Canadian Boreal forest.
In addition to the Canadian boreal forest, the partnership is focusing on the forests of the southern United States, Indonesia and Brazil's Atlantic Forest.
The agreement reflects the efforts of both organizations to broaden the scope of global conservation by working with and supporting private-sector and non-governmental organizations.
