Forests In Europe Are Growing
Contrary to common misconceptions, Europe’s forests are growing. Over the past several decades, forest area and growing stock have increased steadily, with forest growth consistently exceeding harvesting levels.
Today, forests cover more than one-third of Europe’s land area and continue to expand, providing renewable raw materials while storing carbon and supporting biodiversity.
Sustainable forest management practices ensure that harvested trees are replaced through natural regeneration or replanting, helping to maintain healthy, productive forests for future generations.
Sustainable Forest Management
European forests are among the most sustainably managed in the world. Forest owners and managers work under strict regulations and certification systems that promote responsible harvesting, biodiversity conservation, soil protection, and long-term forest health.
Sustainable forest management balances environmental, social and economic objectives, ensuring forests can continue to provide renewable materials, habitats for wildlife, recreational opportunities and climate benefits.
This careful stewardship helps safeguard forest resources while meeting society’s growing demand for wood-based products.
Forest Jobs And Communities
Forests play a vital role in supporting rural economies and local communities across Europe. Millions of people depend on the forest sector for employment, including jobs in forestry, transport, manufacturing, paper production, packaging, printing and renewable energy.
These industries create economic opportunities in regions where alternative employment may be limited, helping to sustain livelihoods and maintain vibrant rural communities. By supporting sustainably managed forests and forest-based industries, consumers contribute to a circular bioeconomy that generates jobs while responsibly managing natural resources.
