Selection of the areas of concentra-
tion of species in general and of priori-
ty species; in particular to establish
special protection areas (in addition to
the areas of native forests) and to im-
plement specific management plans,
including monitoring and follow-up. It
is intended that all bio-regions where
there is company activity are represen-
ted in these areas, as well as seeking to
ensure complementarity with the offi-
cial conservation areas.
Analysis of the distribution of
threatened environments present in
UPM Forestal Oriental plots:
using the classification of types of
environment and their categorisation
according to the degree of threat, we
examine the contribution of the
company’s conservation areas to the
conservation of biodiversity in the
country and the need for new areas of
conservation or protection.
