Policy positions
Policy position 1
Forests should primarily be treasured as valuable ecosystems in a natural state and habitat for species living in them. We should cut back on using all natural resources, also wood-based products.
Policy position 2
Domestic timber should be favoured as a raw material, as it is a better alternative for the environment and in terms of employment than manufacturing similar products from non-renewable natural resources. Biodiversity and the landscape values of forests should be secured by means of various protection and forest management measures.
Policy position 3
Focus should be on research and product development so that we can make a more efficient and versatile use of wood-based raw materials. The surface area of forest should be expanded to safeguard the availability of raw material and to increase the carbon binding capacity.

Position developed by your group.
