In an exclusive interview for the Tomorrow's Forest website, Mr. Dorel Fechete, Executive Director of the Forest Administrators' Association, talks about forests, his organization and explains its involvement in the most ambitious reforestation project in Romania coming from the private sector. An excerpt:
Why do we need this project, Tomorrow’s Forest?
Forest regeneration usually occurs naturally, without external interventions being needed. When this is not possible, the forest owners are required by the law to perform reforestations themselves. But there are cases in which the forest owners cannot afford the costs of these activities. Maybe they haven’t harvested any wood. Maybe they were retroceded areas with regeneration difficulties, or the areas were hit by natural disasters. The Tomorrow’s Forest project was created to assist all these private owners and local authorities to regenerate the forest areas they possess.
So people won’t have to pay for anything?
All planting and maintenance works are entirely covered by the project, so no investment is necessary from the owners, no.
