The magazine of the forest sector
Dear friends and B.Forest readers,
Dear friends and B.Forest readers,
The month of March 2020 will go down in history as a troubling period in which the entire globalized world found itself faced with one of the biggest crises of the last century: the new coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
Faced with this new reality, which demands all industries be as flexible and resilient as possible, the B.Forest Magazine is also trying to adapt to make sure its readers have access to the most complete coverage of the crisis and its impacts on the forestry and wood industries. That is why, exceptionally, the main articles in this issue are focused exclusively on the current actions being taken by the main companies in the sector, as well as their expectations for the near future. Thus, we’ve interviewed some of the most important forestry directors, managers and executives working in Brazil today.
Moreover, our monthly Forestry Bioeconomy column analyses the potential of an important forest-based bioproduct: lignin. We also have a special interview with Manoel de Freitas, a professional with extensive experience in renowned forestry players, having occupied important positions such as executive forestry VP of Champion Papel e Celulose (later International Paper), president of the IPEF and director of the Brazilian Silviculture Society. Don’t miss it!
