Sustainbility / Environmental Management and Monitoring / Introduction

In the fields where FORESTAL ATLÁNTICO SUR operates, environmental assessments and impact surveys are carried out by a team of experts. Based on the results obtained in these studies, management and monitoring plans have been developed for the restoration of natural systems which may have been affected by previous practices (agricultural, farming, forestry or other activities), the conservation of natural resources and values in the influence areas (flora, fauna, soils and hydric resources) and the prevention or mitigation of environmental impact caused by forestry operations.

Monitoring tasks include, in particular, regular assessments of the effects of forestry operations on the soil, pollution and ecosystems. On the other hand, studies of the fauna are being carried out with the purpose of determining the effect of these operations in the species composition and distribution in the country and the possibility of controlling harmful species such as the wild boar.
