Commitment to the responsible
management of resources
At UPM Forestal Oriental, 35% of the
area is not covered by forest plantations
due to environmental, technical or legal
considerations or because the areas are
occupied by roads.
The biophysical environment, social
and cultural resources and their direct
environment are reviewed. This process
allows us to identify productive areas,
areas that are important for conserva-
tion and/or areas of potential manage-
ment conflict, as well as those areas that
are suitable for other uses or produc-
tions such as livestock or fodder pro-
duction. This information is processed
and used to correctly manage the area,
to develop biodiversity conservation
programmes or programmes of actions
within the community.
DISTRIBUTION OF AREAS BY USAGE
Prior to the implementation of any planting or land-use change
process, the company’s specialists thoroughly planned each
particular case and assess the potential impact of the company
intervention within a framework of respect for and preservation
of environmental conditions.
