Logging

A total of 17.61 million m3 of raw timber was logged in the forests of the CR in 2016; of this 15.92 million m3 was coniferous wood. For the same period, there was an increase of 22 million m3 of wood. Only 80 % of the total current increment was logged. These data clearly show that logging is sustainable in the long term. This bears witness to meeting the principle of sustainable forest management, which is advocated in all countries with well-developed forestry.
