Policy challenges: integrating biodiversity conservation in managed forests

The European Network Integrate invites you to a virtual exchange on integrated forest management on 30 March from 9.00 to 10.45 CEST.

The webinar “Policy challenges of integrating biodiversity conservation in forest management – the way forward” brings together forest policy experts from the French, German, Italian and Swiss government to compare country perspectives and lessons learnt. We will focus on the following questions:

• What are the strongest arguments for an integrated approach towards the conservation of forest biodiversity – and if other approaches are preferred, why?
• What are the main challenges for integrated approaches and how are these addressed in the four countries and beyond, both on policy and management level?
• What do we expect from the EU policy and in particular the EU Forestry Strategy – how could EU policy best serve biodiversity conservation in forest management?

The event is organized by Switzerland as the current Chair of the European Network Integrate and European Forest Institute (EFI) as the Integrate Secretariat. The webinar will be hosted via Zoom.
