The importance of increasing the area of forests in the Republic of Moldova and the role of standards in the management of forest resources

In the context of the climate and environmental challenges faced by the Republic of Moldova, expanding the area of forests becomes an essential national priority. Forests not only play a crucial role in protecting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance, but also contribute significantly to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In this context, national and international standards play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable management of forest resources. The standard “Forest management and assessment of forest resources. Forest management. Terminology’ establishes a clear and coherent framework for forest management and conservation, ensuring the use of specific terms and standardized methodologies. This standard contributes to the standardization of forest management and assessment practices, thus facilitating the implementation of effective and sustainable policies.
