The exact change

Suggested change

with tens of thousands of active Chain of Custody certificates (FSC reports roughly 69,000 as of recent data) in 130+ countries

Why this is better

2 issues fixed: Article states approximately 52,000 active FSC Chain of Custody certificates as of late 2024. FSC's own published facts-and-figures data shows a materially higher current count -- approximately 69,000-70,000 active Chain of Custody certificates (and roughly 60,000 certified companies/organisations) as of 2024-2025. 52,000 undercounts the current total meaningfully enough to flag; softened to an approximate range that isn't contradicted by FSC's public data. | Same understated Chain of Custody certificate count repeated in the references list.
