We are a non-profit organisation working to support better land management and business practices that benefit people, nature and climate in 100+ countries

Taiwan is home to an incredible range of biological diversity due to its range of climatic zones and varied topography. As a way of ensuring their business practices respect the environment around them, the Chiayi Forest District Management Office recently engaged in obtaining Forest Stewardship Council^TM (FSC) Forest Management certification for one of the state-owned forests under their management. 

Backed by years of experience of working in the sustainability sector and in over 100 countries, Preferred by Nature has contributed to the development of 24 out of the 50 country profiles currently available on TimberLex. The user-friendly online portal provides access to accurate and up-to-date information on legislation relating to forest management, timber production and trade for the world's major timber-trading countries. 

The pandemic has sparked a wave of innovation in workplaces all over the world. Preferred by Nature is now offering most of its expert training courses online, benefitting both course participants and the climate, says Training Coordinator Olga Polyachenko.
