Klabin advances in biodiversity conservation initiatives

As a forest-based company, Klabin considers the conservation of biodiversity to be an important guiding pillar of its operations, oriented towards sustainable development. Currently, the Company has 718,000 hectares of forests, 42% of which are dedicated to conversation and maintenance of biodiversity.

The commitment to the agenda was made public through the KODS – Klabin Objectives for Sustainable Development –, which guide the Klabin 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, aligned with the UN agenda – with five specific goals for biodiversity conservation determined to be achieved over the next seven years.

The goals involve recovery of degraded areas, nature conservation studies, reintroduction of extinct or threatened species and general care with the fauna.

Within its forest area, Klabin maintains almost 9,000 hectares of Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPNs), permanent conservation units created in private areas, located in the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina, and the Klabin Ecological Park (PEK) , located in Telêmaco Borba, Paraná. With almost 5,000 hectares, the Serra da Farofa Complex RPPN is home to the source of the Canoas River, which forms the largest hydrographic basin in the region and supplies 160,000 residents in the municipality of Lages. The protection and preservation work carried out by the Company allowed the identification of 570 species of flora and about 360 species of animals, including some endangered species, such as the red-necked parrot, lesser anteater, ocelot and bay lion.

In Telêmaco Borba, Paraná, is located another RPPN of the Company, the Monte Alegre Farm. With around 4,000 hectares, the region has initiatives for the conservation and maintenance of ecological corridors, housing the Mixed Ombrophylous Forest, which has 171 species of flora, including seven endangered.

Wisconsin’s century-old model of forestry comes under pressure

*As the nation's leading papermaking state, Wisconsin feels the disruption caused by digital media acutely. The state's ink-on-paper economy has been shrinking for over a decade — pulpwood is the largest volume consumer of Wisconsin-grown timber — while the 2008 housing meltdown was so severe that sawmills and lumber works have yet to fully recover. *Family-owned woodland, which accounts for more than half of the state's forests, is being inherited by a generation that is less inclined to maintain the land as "working" forests — those that feed paper mills and saw mills — and more inclined to sell it off piecemeal. *Wall Street investors have been buying up forestland in Wisconsin and other states, then parceling it and flipping it. Some of the land becomes subdivisions and golf courses, and some is held by investment funds that sell it in far less time than it takes a tree to reach harvesting maturity. *The globalization of the economy since the 1990s has increased competition from warmer climates such as South America and southern Asia, which can grow pulpwood more efficiently than Wisconsin, where brutal winters annually interrupt growth cycles.
