Forest and tropical timber industry
Natural forests management
Natural forests are home to most of the Earth's biological diversity and contribute to the preservation of water resources, soil protection and the fight against climate change, not to mention their essential social role. Natural forests represent 93% of the world's forests, and tropical ones account for 45% of the global forest cover. They are now disappearing at an alarming rate. The implementation of sustainable forest management measures is an essential step in their development and preservation.
As a recognized specialist in the management of natural tropical forests, TEREA supports the public and private sectors by providing its expertise in the responsible management of several million hectares of tropical forests.
