“In the future, we will need forests that are as intact as possible, but we will also need to meet a growing demand for timber and other ecosystem services. The solution lies in balancing conservation and production, through management practices that are increasingly in harmony with nature.”
This is the main theme explored by Luigi Torreggiani, a journalist and forestry expert, in an interesting article published in “Il Tascabile”, an online magazine linked to the Treccani universe.
In the in-depth analysis of the various types of forest management, the mutual impact between humans and forests, and the European Commission’s guidelines on ‘close(r) to nature’ forestry, the Life Span project – coordinated by Dr Bruno De Cinti, a researcher at CNR-IRET in Montelibretti – is cited as an example of good practice.
