Greenwash:
Critical analysis of FSC certification of industrial tree monocultures in Uruguay - by Ricardo Carrere
World Rainforest Movement

The aim of this report is to provide documented information and analysis to all those who are currently struggling against large-scale monoculture tree plantations and must face the additional problem posed by the fact that these same plantations are being certified by the FSC. At the same time, we hope that this publication will contribute to the plantation certification review that the FSC itself is currently carrying out.
