Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

Dear friends and B.Forest readers,

The main strength of the Brazilian forestry sector lies beyond the trees, pulp, paper, timber and forestry products – it is in its human capital, in the men and women who spare no effort when it comes to promoting the sustainable development of our country.
From highly specialized forestry engineers to those operating timber harvest equipment, these are people who have found in the forest their home. This month, in celebration of the International Women’s Day, B.Forest has prepared a special article celebrating the women working in our sector, professionals who fulfil their roles with great efficiency and advance gender equality in Brazil.
Moreover, this issue brings you a report on the current state of the Brazilian Environmental Rural Register and its importance for Brazilian forest producers, an analysis on the German forestry sector and an article on the use of tree-measuring apps. You can also read our exclusive interview with Marcelo Acioli, new general manager at ArcelorMittal Bioflorestas, who now leads the company with the challenge of broadening horizons and opportunities. Don’t miss it!
