Forests are complex ecosystems that store carbon, preserve soils and nurture many animal and plant species. But negligence and unsustainable forest management practices endanger their health and risk biodiversity loss. The HealthyForestRegions project develops concepts to strengthen the commitment of key policy stakeholders to better safeguard forest ecosystems. The partnership also tests new tools and solutions for the transition to ecosystem-based forest management in six regions.
FLD is working on this project as a project partner together with 8 other partners from 6 European countries. The University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde is acting as coordinator.
