Community expectations demand that our forests and woodlands are managed in a sustainable manner.
Forest managers must demonstrate environmental, social and economic performance, and forest owners and custodians (including governments) expect that the health of these ecosystems are maintained or enhanced. Financiers need assurance that their commercial forestry investments will deliver economic returns, while meeting environmental objectives and maintaining stakeholder confidence.
Forest managers face a complex web of demands in meeting stakeholder, community and industry expectations and continuing to supply forest benefits like wood and non-wood products (such as honey, oils, seeds and pharmaceuticals), carbon sinks, biodiversity conservation, salinity and erosion control, high water quality and recreation spaces.
