International Day of Forests 2020.
Saturday 21st March 2020.
When we drink a glass of water, write in a notebook, take medicine for a fever or build a house, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another.
Forests, their sustainable management and use of resources, including in fragile ecosystems, are key to combating climate change, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Forests cover one third of the Earth's land mass, performing vital functions around the world. Around 1.6 billion people - including more than 2,000 indigenous cultures - depend on forests for their livelihoods, medicines, fuel, food and shelter.
Forests are the most biologically-diverse ecosystems on land, home to more than 80% of the terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects.
Prowood Limited view the preservation of forestlands as paramount to the future of our industry.
We endeavour to purchase material which has been harvested in a responsible manner and in accordance with the prevailing laws of the land. Regardless of country or environment standard used, a company must practice responsible forestry in order to be considered as a potential supplier.

Responsible Forestry Defined
Responsible forestry means managing forests to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs by practising a land stewardship ethic which integrates the reforestation, managing, growing, nurturing and harvesting of trees for useful products with the conservation of soil, air, and water quality, and wildlife and fish habitat.
