“We want to raise the profile of the forestry industry and its three sub-sectors – pine, eucalyptus and cork oak”. These were the words chosen by José Honório, CEO of the Portucel Soporcel Group, to start his address to the international seminar on “The Forest, Sustainability and Prosperity”, held on 2 June in Lisbon, introducing some of leading Portuguese and international specialists in forestry issues. He also drew attention to the threats to the sustainability of eucalyptus forestry, which include the size and sustainability of eucalyptus woodlands, their low levels of productivity, forestry certification, territorial planning, forest fires and the logistics of transport.
