The state of the Swiss forest (essay)
2014
Hess, J., Bundesamt fuer Umwelt Bafu, Bern (Switzerland)
When assessing the situation of the Swiss forest, all its functions must be considered. One aspect stands out, however: Switzerland is losing valuable opportunities by harvesting a relatively low share of its wood production potential. This applies to climate change, prevention of natural catastrophes and biodiversity, as well as forest and wood economy. The Confederation supports the use of wood for construction and energy through its resources policy. To increase domestic added value, investment, cooperation between all stakeholders and improved framework conditions are all essential.
