3 issues facing Canada’s Forestry Industry.
1. Climate change: Climate change is rapidly becoming a serious threat to the forestry industry in Canada. Changes in temperature, rainfall patterns and other climatic variables are affecting the timing of forest growth, pest outbreaks, and wildfire frequency and intensity.
2. Market demand: The forestry industry in Canada faces stiff competition from other countries, and market demand for forestry products is constantly fluctuating. Moreover, some countries are increasingly regulating wood imports due to environmental and social concerns, which could affect Canada’s tree exports.
3. Sustainability: The forestry industry needs to ensure that forest resources are used sustainably to avoid negative impacts on the environment and economy. This involves responsible stewardship, biodiversity, and conservation practice, transparent regulation, and maintaining social license, among other issues.
