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.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) will require suspension of its certificates in armed conflict areas of Ukraine, and will allow streamlined auditing processes on certificates in areas not affected by conflict.
Because of the association of the forest sector in Russia and Belarus with armed invasion, no FSC-certified material or controlled wood from these countries will be permitted to be traded.
