Nearly
a hundred years have passed since it was decided that our
timberlands could no longer be freely exploited. Instead, sustainable
forestry would provide the basis for future operations. Replanting,
good forest management and long-term planning have subsequently led to
a very large increase in timber supplies. This made possible a steady
expansion of logging operations. Today's timber stock is 50% larger
than it was when detailed measurements began in the 1920s.
Since the 1992 Earth Summit meeting in Rio, our concept of
sustainability has broadened. This is reflected in our revised
forestry policy that went into effect in 1994. Today sustainable
forestry must not only ensure a reliable yield of timber and the
multiple use of forests, but also preserve biological diversity.
The forest is a resource which should be managed so that it
provides a good return on a sustainable basis and ensures the
preservation of biodiversity.
Taskboard is an unbleached wood product made of sustainable forestry
wood.
