• zwrócenie uwagi na znaczenie i wartość gospodarczą, środowiskową i społeczną zrównoważonego leśnictwa w Szwajcarii;
• zapoznanie mieszkańców z różnorodnością branż i produktów drzewnych;
• wzmacnianie popytu na szwajcarskie drewno i produkty z drewna;
• budowanie pozytywnego wizerunku szwajcarskiego leśnictwa;
• podnoszenie świadomości na temat znaczenia zrównoważonej gospodarki leśnej i związanych z nią działań w obszarze hodowli w lasach szwajcarskich;
• przybliżenie różnych korzyści dla społeczeństwa związanych z usługami ekosystemowymi świadczonymi przez lasy (np. łagodzenie zmian klimatu, redukcja emisji CO₂, zaopatrzenie w wodę pitną, ochrona przed zagrożeniami naturalnymi).

Wszystko to w dłuższej perspektywie przyczynić się ma do wiekszej mobilizacji drewna i wzmacniania drzewnego łańcucha wartości.

'Juntos por los Bosques' (Together for the Forests) is a non-profit platform formed by more than 100 Spanish forestry entities have come together to develop a vision of what their forests mean, of the wealth that in many ways they can contribute to society and to define proposals for primary action to be sent to all political formations with parliamentary representation and to the Government, among others. Since its creation in 2016 'Juntos por los Bosques', with the impulse of COIM (Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Montes, Official Professional Association of Forestry Engineers) has met with political representatives of the Government and political parties.

'Juntos por los Bosques' aims to strengthen the social architecture of the sector to unite its voice towards the public authorities and society as a whole. The long-term nature of forest management makes it easier to identify common objectives, including raising the level of social debate and building broad consensus and complicity. For the first time it has been possible to bring together practically the whole of the country's forestry civil society, from private and municipal property, which accounts for 95% of the forest territory, to service companies, wood, paper, cork, resin, biomass and other forest products industries, certification, professional organizations, academia, cultural entities, research and forestry training centres, among others.

Some of the achievements are the broad consensus in the rapid constitution of the National Forestry Council or the Proposition Not of Law on a Forestry Fund financed by a tax on hydrocarbons and water consumption, approved in March 2017 in the Congress of Deputies without any vote against, are, although modest, important achievements obtained by our collective commitment. Work continues to achieve a green taxation that recognizes the peculiarities of the forestry sector such as the long term, high risks and environmental services and identifying it as a key tool for the revitalization of less favoured rural areas, and the recent inclusion of forest management in the Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition.

Promotivna kampanja "Drvo je prvo" pokrenuta je od strane Hrvatske gospodarske komore, u suradnji s Ministarstvom poljoprivrede, Uprave za šumarstvo, lov i drvo-prerađivačku industriju i Hrvatskim šumama d.o.o.

Juntos por los Bosques es una plataforma sin ánimo de lucro formada por más de 100 entidades forestales españolas se han unido para elaborar una visión de lo que suponen sus bosques, de la riqueza que en muchos sentidos pueden aportar a la sociedad y para definir propuestas de actuación primordiales para ser enviadas a todas las formaciones políticas con representación parlamentaria y al Gobierno, entre otros. Desde su creación en 2016 Juntos por los Bosques, con el impulso del COIM (Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Montes) se ha reunido con representantes políticos del Gobierno y los partidos políticos.

Juntos por los Bosques tiene como objetivo fortalecer la arquitectura social del sector para unir su voz ante los poderes públicos y la sociedad en su conjunto. El largo plazo intrínseco a la gestión forestal facilita identificar objetivos comunes entre los que destaca elevar el nivel del debate social y construir amplios consensos y complicidades.

Por primera vez se ha conseguido aglutinar a la práctica totalidad de la sociedad civil forestal del país, desde la propiedad privada y municipal que supone el 95% del territorio forestal, pasando por las empresas de servicios, industrias de la madera, papel, corcho, resina, biomasa y demás productos forestales, de certificación, organizaciones profesionales, mundo académico, entidades culturales, centros de investigación y formación forestal entre otros.

Algunos de los logros son el amplio consenso en la rápida constitución del Consejo Forestal Nacional o la Proposición No de Ley sobre un Fondo Forestal financiado por una tasa sobre los hidrocarburos y el consumo de agua, aprobada en marzo de 2017 en el Congreso de los Diputados sin ningún voto en contra, son, aunque modestos, importantes logros conseguidos por nuestro compromiso colectivo. Se sigue trabajando para conseguir una fiscalidad verde que reconozca las peculiaridades del sector forestal como el largo plazo, los elevados riesgos y los servicios ambientales e identificándola como una herramienta clave de dinamización de los espacios rurales menos favorecidos, y la reciente inclusión de la gestión forestal en la Ley de Cambio Climático y Transición Energética.
