Comment on land area
Various concessions around the country. 2014 Annual report states nearly 934000ha concessions. The company website states "through its Gabonese subsidiaries the group exploits some 895 000 ha of forest with an annual log production of approximately 300 000 m³"- but it is not clear to which year this data relates. The 2016 annual report states "GABON: FSC® 100% certification for all the forests in operation (877,000 ha)" BUT later in the report it states 934 000ha (pg 15). We use 877000ha as the size under contract.
