LEARN FROM EUROPE’S FOREST RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Sustainable forest management has been the corner stone in forest resources management in Europe. The importance of forests to mankind cannot be overemphasized.
In this video, it is surprising how forests cover in Europe has increased over the years but the inverse is the case in some other parts of the world!
Integrating forest management with rural development, amenity values, recreation, tourism and well-being yields sustainability. The whole world may have to consider maximizing forest-based energy systems instead of fossil fuels.
Connection between research and policy is always important for sustainable development.
The rest of the world can learn a lot from Europe’s forest resources management.
