This May, many Croatian stakeholders from the forestry and wood sector had a chance to meet and talk to FSC's Director General Mr. Kim Carstensen, who came to Croatia as a guest speaker of the Greencajt sustainability festival.
Recognising the importance of forests, there is an increasing emphasis on the practice of sustainable forest management, including the establishment of forest plantations on abandoned agricultural lands and other non-forest lands.
Since 1990, 420 million hectares of forest have been lost due to deforestation worldwide, an area larger than the European Union. Geolocation is rapidly becoming part of the solution.
In 2021, a stakeholder complaint entitled Report on deforestation in the Republic of Croatia was received. On the basis of that document, a detailed assessment was carried out by an independently accredited certification body. No evidence was found to support the complaints made.
Every three years we look forward to new connections and meetings of our FSC global community to discuss challenges and solutions for responsible forest management.
