This is an old revision of the document!
Working Group I - Social and Environmental Services, Property, Wood and Industry | |
---|---|
Strategic direction 1: Increase the area covered with forest vegetation | |
The forests have a greater weight in the surface of Romania aiming at an extension of the forest vegetation on as many surfaces with potential forest use as possible | |
Strategic direction 2: Continuous provision of ecosystem services | |
The forest continuously fulfills its functions at a level established as mandatory and agreed by the company, and the necessary exceedances of this level are specified and actively supported | |
Strategic direction 3: Increasing the socio-cultural role of forests | |
Forests play an increased role in providing recreational and sanogenic services to society in a spirit of respect for the natural environment and the landowner | |
Strategic direction 4: Stimulating the financial viability of forest property | |
Support the growth of the value of forest property and medium and long-term investments by ensuring the financial viability of responsible forest management in order to increase the interest in maintaining their property | |
Strategic direction 5: Continuity of sustainable timber production | |
Forests sequester carbon at a level as close as possible to their maximum seasonal potential and continuously provide superior wood assortments. | |
Strategic direction 6: Reducing the socio-ecological impact of exploitation activities | |
The exploitation of wood is achieved by using environmentally friendly methods and taking into account the reduction of the negative social impact. | |
Strategic direction 7: Supporting the superior and multi-cyclical usage of wood | |
Favoring the industrialization of the superior wood assortments and promoting the multi-cyclical uses of wood in order to contribute to the long-term carbon storage effort, but also to maintain an active market of local wood | |
Strategic direction 8: Ensuring the competitiveness and legality of the timber market | |
The timber market is ethical and competitive, with competitors ensuring the transparency and legality of the wood supply chain. | |
Strategic Directorate 9: Socio-economic development of local communities | |
Increasing local added value through the use of goods and services provided by the forest. | |
Strategic direction 10: Ensuring energy security for vulnerable communities | |
Integration of biomass and alternative energy sources and their efficiency for the local balancing of the demand and supply of firewood |
Working Group II - Climate Change, Biodiversity and Protected Areas, Functionality and State of Forests | |
---|---|
Strategic direction 1: Strengthen the management system of the national network of protected areas | |
A unitary system of protected natural areas, representative for the conservation of biodiversity, scientifically based and professionally managed | |
Strategic direction 2: Integrating biodiversity conservation into forest management | |
Natural, stable forest ecosystems with high biodiversity value, including in actively managed forests | |
Strategic direction 3: Conservation of genetic resources | |
Maintain an appropriate level of genetic diversity to ensure the adaptability of populations and species in a changing environment | |
Strategic direction 4: Adequate management for the stability of forest ecosystems | |
Forest management integrates established and tested options for adapting forest ecosystems to increasing disturbances, including in the context of climate change | |
Strategic direction 5: Adequate management for the forest sector's contribution to a climate-neutral economy | |
Stimulating emission reductions by improving land use and timber use and managing greenhouse gas quantities |
Working Group III - Regulation and Funding, Forestry Administration, Education, Research and Communication | |
---|---|
Strategic direction 1: Streamlining the education, awareness and communication system | |
Forest education is done systematically to increase society's awareness of environmental issues | |
Strategic direction 2: Rationale and rigorous evaluation of forestry policies | |
Forest policy has clear and transparent objectives, based on clear data and continuously monitored by relevant indicators | |
Strategic direction 3: Streamlining the sectoral regulatory framework | |
Simplified, coherent and efficient framework for regulating forest management . | |
Strategic direction 4: Making the forest management framework more efficient and transparent | |
Efficient forest administration and total transparency of the administrative act in publicly owned forests. | |
Strategic direction 5: Professionalisation of forestry management | |
A professional forestry administration, with an efficient performance control system. | |
Strategic direction 6: Streamlining and making the regulatory control system more transparent | |
The control exercised by the authority is efficient (it follows the real and important problems) and transparent (it is done according to correct and explicit rules) . | |
Strategic direction 7: Ensuring the legality of the timber market | |
