*
Decreasing the reliance on wood products to minimize forest harvesting.
Implementing climate-smart forestry practices, such as designing cuts to reduce fire risk and increasing the utilization of harvested materials.
Relying solely on natural regeneration processes, without any human intervention, to manage forest resources.
Encouraging the use of non-renewable materials in construction to preserve forested lands.
What is the importance of third-party certification in sustainable forest management, as discussed?
*
It serves as a voluntary tool for companies to demonstrate corporate responsibility by ensuring their practices meet sustainable management standards.
