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 overarching EUDR objective is to minimise the EU’s contribution to global deforestation and forest degradation. Serbia plays an important role here. Discussions on the implications of the new EUDR Regulation have began with the meeting held on April 10th in Belgrade.
