Why is it important?
Europe’s varied climates support some of the most biodiverse woodlands on Earth. More than 40% of the continent’s land area is wooded
Perspectives
Billions of euros are earmarked for forestry for 2014–20 in the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy and EU rural development fund. Europe’s forestry community needs to implement a sustainable management strategy to secure its woodlands, and their ecosystem services, for future generations.
