Hi and Hola - Welcome to Southem Online Issue 230. Will the World Forestry Congress in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, this week prove to be yet another talkfest? Or can the sector’s
global leaders really galvanise themselves and their agencies into taking a lead role in placing
forestry at the forefront of issues such as climate change, social equity and economic
development?
As reported in the June 2009 edition of our Southern Hemisphere Forest Industry Journal,
countries from Brazil to Chile and Australia and New Zealand are mobilising programmes
aimed at promoting the benefits of wood products. But even as the New Zealand
Government frames its new emissions trading scheme to combat climate change, forest
owners are taking fright at the potential impact on new investment and have raised doubts as
to whether the expected levels of new planting can be achieved. It is a reminder for those at
the congress that political will can batter the best intentions of our sector.
