Por: Evolving Forests

As we strive for low-carbon solutions, timber is gaining popularity as a go-to renewable material. Wooden buildings are popping up everywhere, and our demand for wood is growing fast. But while we embrace timber, we also need to protect our forests and plant more trees to soak up carbon, preserve nature's resources, and enhance biodiversity. Wood is a part of daily life, and everyone wants to keep forests safe. So, how do we balance these important but competing goals? What’s next for the future of timber?Evolving Forests has been investigating whether forest conservation and timber use can truly coexist—whether it's possible to have timber-built homes while actively enhancing the forests that provide the wood. While research and data are essential in finding a way forward, progress ultimately depends on human commitment. To address this pressing challenge, we have been delving into the personal stories of individuals who are directly confronting this complex issue.Discover more films, audio, and written word at the home of the project https://evolvingforests.com/future-of-timber​Follow us...Instagram: @evolving_forestsLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/evolving-forestsWith thanks to our funders and supporters at Built by Nature, Forestry Commission, Scottish Forestry Trust, and Eggerhttps://builtbn.orghttps://www.scottishforestrytrust.org.ukhttps://www.egger.com Hosted on Acast.
