Innovative Forest Management Planning
Background
The economic and environmental services of the Serbian forests are threatened by more and more abiotic extreme incidents (Ice break, fire, droughts). The latest example was a disastrous flood in 2014, affecting a large part of the country’s forests. In order to reinforce and strengthen forest functions and services, there is the need to develop an improved planning and monitoring methodology for Serbia’s forest management. This methodology will pronounce close-to-nature forest management as a guiding principle. The lead institutions of this bilateral project are the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. UNIQUE was contracted in consortium with Hessen-Forst to support implementation of the project.
