What is PAFC?
泛非洲森林认证（PAFC）刚果盆地区域倡议是几个非洲国家成员组织之间的合作，这些组织是森林认证认可计划（PEFC）联盟的一部分。该联盟旨在为刚果盆地建立一个独特的区域性可持续森林管理认证方法。PAFC 刚果、PAFC 喀麦隆和 PAFC 刚果均已承诺参与该倡议，致力于促进可持续森林管理并确保木材从森林到最终产品的可追溯性。
在这一独特地区制定可持续森林管理认证方案，既满足当前需求，又保护生态系统和生物多样性，为子孙后代留下宝贵遗产。刚果盆地 PAFC 参与的组织认为，可持续森林管理对促进生产国森林经济繁荣至关重要。可持续森林管理认证有助于遏制森林砍伐、保护生物多样性并满足当地社区需求。
该倡议建立了刚果盆地可持续森林管理区域认证体系（PAFC 刚果盆地）。该体系由当地利益相关方制定，基于 PEFC 理事会制定的国际标准和要求。因此，PAFC 刚果盆地认证体系获得全球认可。

How the Preferred by Nature Sustainability Framework Certification scheme is governed
The Preferred by Nature Sustainability Framework Certification (PBN SFC) scheme operates under a governance system designed to support transparency, impartiality, accountability and stakeholder participation.
The system defines how the scheme is managed, how standards and procedures are developed and revised, and how certification activities are independently assessed and overseen.
The scheme owner and the certification body are separate legal entities, with different staff, reporting lines and responsibilities. The scheme is owned by Preferred by Nature F.M.B.A. in Denmark, while certification is carried out by Preferred by Nature OÜ in Estonia, which holds the accreditation under which all certification activities are performed and takes certification decisions independently. Both entities sit within the Preferred by Nature organisational umbrella.
The scheme's governance structure also includes internal decision-making bodies, external stakeholder representation and mechanisms for stakeholder engagement and dispute resolution.
