The coordination between both institutions is essential to ensure that the sector not only complies with regulations, but is also strengthened with new opportunities that allow the actors in the sector to be more competitive both nationally and internationally, said the head of OSINFOR, Williams Arellano.
This meeting, which takes place on Monday, February 3 and Tuesday, February 4 in Lima, seeks to identify strategies to value permanent production forests, strengthen their responsible use and conservation.
It is important to note that Peru has more than 68 million hectares of forests, representing 53% of its territory, and a forest potential that, managed sustainably, could generate significant economic and environmental benefits, including reducing deforestation, illegal logging and other scourges that affect forest heritage.
