Auswirkungen auf Umwelt und Biodiversität

ForestHQ has a significant impact on the digitalisation of the forest industry. This system makes digitalisation more accessible to small and medium size forest owners and organisations.  According to a study performed by UNECE, in terms of numbers of private forest owners as well as distributions of size classes, small-scale land holdings prevail in European forests. These forest owners are not only important in numbers or a large amount of forest that they manage, but also play an important role in rural communities, sustaining local economies and traditional and sustainable forest management methods.

Despite the effort that small forest owners are putting into sustainable forest management.  The level of sustainable forest management that can be verified in the private forest need to improve.  For the private forest sector, with the exception of Austria and Finland, the certification level is still rather low or even non-existent in some countries. 

ForestHQ is a game-changer to bring private owners and organizations to effective and variable forest management providing them with digitalisation.
