The Government has taken important steps to support the forest sector by approving amendments to the allocation procedure and allocating more than €1.3 million from the Forest Development Fund. This decision is a vital step to promote the long-term development of the forest sector. In addition, the potential of scientific research and public involvement in forest management and protection are also highlighted.
The support is planned for a number of important areas, including forest sector development, scientific research, and education and outreach programmes. These initiatives are geared towards sustainable forestry, ensuring that all actors involved are well informed and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. It is also a step towards promoting a variety of projects that will help improve the sustainability and efficiency of forestry.
The aim of the turnaround is to update the 2025 priority support and development programmes for forestry, as well as to allocate public funding to improve this important sector. At a time when environmental sustainability and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important, it is undoubtedly important to provide support for projects that help maintain and improve our forest resources. Public funding in this context is an important indicator of the Government's commitment to sustainable development.
Euros 374 000 is earmarked for forest science projects. These funds will be used to develop proposals for improving national forest monitoring, improving the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and researching the use of woody biomass for energy. This comes at a time when there is a need to foster innovation and provide practical knowledge to help overcome the challenges of climate change and develop appropriate long-term solutions.
In addition, €315 000 will be allocated to forest sector development projects, which will help to promote various development plans and innovation in the sector. This is an opportunity to ensure better management of resources and to promote the latest technologies and understanding of the role of forests in maintaining ecological balance. The projects that will receive this funding hope to make a positive difference and contribute to the sustainable development of the sector based on knowledge and innovation.
