In an article entitled “Planted forests: the future of the bioeconomy”, the president of the Paraná Association of Forest Based Companies, Zaid Ahmad Nasser, argues that the planting of trees for wood production is what guarantees the preservation of native species. “We understand that, in addition to directly contributing as a source of input for the most diverse purposes, planted trees are a key factor in reducing pressure on the need to extract wood from native areas.”

According to the forest engineer, in Paraná, for every hectare of planted area, there is one more hectare of native forest, destined for preservation. “There are rural properties in which the percentage used for commercial use of forests reaches only 38%. A large part remains with the native vegetation preserved”, he says in the article.
