8 PW and the Sustainable Development Goals Practicing sustainable forest management is important for limiting climate change and its impacts. Protecting biodiversity and guaranteeing the livelihoods of the local population are addressed by the United Nation as priorities and aspirations for 2030 (UN Framework Climate Change Paris Agreement art 5). Precious Woods through its activities in the Congo Basin and Amazonas rainforest is a strong contributor to these Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For more details:
