Two days of exchanging experiences and capacity building in Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) were organized by the Verdecanand\u00e9 company and the forest advisers and forest verifiers of the National Forest Directorate of the Ministry of Environment (MAE), technicians from the Undersecretariat of Forest Production and the Amazon Productive Transformation Agenda (ATPA) project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG), under an institutional agreement signed in March 2019, between MAE and the Verdecanand\u00e9 company. This agreement seeks to support national efforts for reducing deforestation and the degradation of natural forests, and the mitigation of climate change, through the implementation of a Sustainable Forest Management Model in areas where Verdecanand\u00e9 operates.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

45 technicians participated in the workshops, which were held in the company’s operating area on Crist\u00f3bal Col\u00f3n campus in Malimpia parish, Quinind\u00e9 canton, Esmeraldas province. Relevant SFM issues were discussed, such as the development of a comprehensive management plan, techniques for reducing the impacts of forestry activity, post-harvest monitoring, industrialization, plantation management and forest certification. The first day was held between November 05 and 09, and the next took place between November 18 and 22.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The experience included theoretical and practical sections, with visits to native forest and balsa and oil palm agroforestry systems, as well as the Verdecanand\u00e9 balsa plantation. In the \u201cTesoro Escondido\u201d Reserve, where years ago a low-impact forest harvest was carried out, techniques such as directed logging, sawmilling using specialized machinery, and movement of planks by overhead cables were analyzed. The recovery of the forest after the intervention could be seen, as well as monitoring carried out by the company through the establishment of permanent plots. Field practical activities were carried out to evaluate post-harvest silvicultural possibilities and the best silvicultural practices, based on assessment, and remnant and silvicultural sampling.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
