South Africa takes a bold step in #SustainableForestry with the handover of Kei-Mouth and Qolorha #plantations to the Imidushane Traditional Council, and Wilo and Ntlangaza plantations to the Nqabe Traditional Council. This aligns with the 2020 Commercial Forestry Sector Masterplan, aiming for growth, investment, and transformation. #CommunityEmpowerment https://lnkd.in/dQGS3PDJ

Forestry South Africa (FSA) reports that there are over 25,000 small-scale timber growers, with the majority being subsistence farmers supported by forestry cooperatives and social development initiatives of large corporations. The commercial tree species include eucalyptus, wattle, and pine and are selected based on market demand and timber end-use. Small-scale timber farming occurs mainly in rural KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and the Eastern Cape. https://lnkd.in/dgW6fSRX

🚨 Did you know that illegal logging can account for up to 90% of forestry activities in key tropical forest regions? Maintaining traceability is vital in mitigating legality risks. Timber composite products, such as plywood boards, often contain layers from various tree species, sourced from different forest concessions and even different countries. Ensuring traceability for each element throughout the supply chain, documented before mixing, is essential. If full traceability cannot be achieved, timber importers should opt to gain more information from tools like the Timber Sourcing Hub by Preferred by Nature, where importers can identify high-risk areas in timber sourcing. Learn more about ESG risks in the tropical forestry sector and strategies to mitigate them in modules 2 and 3 of our new training video.

New Report Released: Tasmanian forests and the carbon market: Barriers and opportunities This report, produced for the Tasmania Forestry Hub, provides a timely industry perspective on Tasmania’s forest carbon market; its strengths, barriers to its expansion and strategies and reforms that will help ensure the sustainable growth of forest-carbon projects in Tasmania.

Happy National Forestry Day! 🌲🌍 Today, I want to acknowledge the significant role that forestry plays in our environment, economy, and communities. 🌳 Working in this industry continually highlights the importance of balancing sustainable resource management with the need to address climate change. 🌱 This year, I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished at SFM, where we’ve planted or replanted nearly 2,000 hectares or more than 2 Million seedlings across southern Australia. 🌿 These trees are essential for capturing carbon and contributing to the future supply of fibre, ensuring that our industry remains sustainable and beneficial to the environment. 🌾 Forestry is about more than managing trees; it’s about supporting ecosystems, contributing to economic growth, and promoting sustainability. 🌍 On this National Forestry Day, I’m recognizing the efforts and dedication of everyone involved in this important work. 🙌 Here’s to the future of forestry! 🌱🌲 #NationalForestryDay #Sustainability #Forestry #CarbonSequestration #EnvironmentalStewardship #sfm #carbonoffsets

Carbon markets - a focus on forestry 🌳 We believe that as part of a carefully considered investment in sustainable productive forestry, investors can gain access to the carbon markets, bringing the opportunity for solid financial returns alongside helping to meet sustainability objectives. In our latest paper, we provide clarity on various #carbonmarkets around the world and illustrate the current and potential role of forestry towards solving the global #climate challenge. This includes insights on the markets specific to individual countries and, in particular, from our experience in the UK, Australia and New Zealand to offer our thoughts on the opportunities and challenges facing the #forestry sector.

We have just written a detailed paper on the carbon markets which I hope is useful. Please see below for further information and details on how to download it.

Encouraging to see Fergus Ewing MSP’s recent article in The Times, highlighting the importance of commercial afforestation in Scotland and dispelling some myths that often surround the industry.   The article discusses how domestic afforestation provides an opportunity to reduce timber imports and increase carbon sequestration, all whilst providing a local supply of responsibly-produced materials for new housing and other uses. Not only that, but the commercial forestry industry turns over upwards of £1bn a year and supports over 2,000 skilled and semi-skilled jobs, all of which rely on a source of accessible, local timber.   To read the full article, please follow the link below:   https://lnkd.in/eHan3VFW   #Forestry #Foresight #ForesightSustainableForestry #SustainableForestry #Afforestation #Conifer #FergusEwing #Scotland #ScottishForestry #ScotlandForestry #CommercialForestry
