Forestry

In response to public pressure and changing markets for non-timber forest products, some pulp and paper companies are transforming themselves into forest management companies. In this new role, they have an economic stake in managing forestlands for timber, biodiversity, tourism, and watershed values. The transformation has created a range of new livelihoods for forest communities. These new livelihoods provide employment opportunities to replace logging jobs lost to the mechanisation of the industry.
