In Finland, forests account for 76% of the country's total land, and forest resources exports account for 20% of the total exports, with many of the harvested forest resources being utilized. Nevertheless, the forest growth surpasses by over 30% the rythm of the total logging happening every year. As a result, Finnish forests are absorbing more carbon than they release.
In Finland, 85% of commercial forests are PEFC-certified. PEFC is a system that certifies forests that are managed sustainably. So it's not reasonable to leave forests unattended, in the name of environmental protection. The goal should be to cut trees properly, as forest growth can be increased just by maintaining proper forest density.

Application of sustainable management
CXP that stores carbon
If you simply neglect or use the forest products that have been collected as fuel, you return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The international community thinks it's good to use wood for furniture and construction in order to store that carbon for a long time. However, for the purpose of forest management, sick and weak trees (or twisted trees) are a priority on the order of trees that will be cut down - and these trees end up becoming sawdust or being incinerated, producing carbon dioxide. The solution to prevent this is letting such trees become CXP. CXP technology makes it possible to use sick or weak wood without the output product being compromised. As long as the wood isn't toxic, it will result in a sturdy, non-toxic CXP pellets batch.
These forest resources can be commercialized with high added value, developing Korean industries, which stimulates the forestry industry to adopt sustainable management practices as the norm, helping the forest as a whole to absorb more carbon than it does nowadays.

Obstacles to sustainable forest management
Poor condition of national forests
The situation in Korea is not so good at the moment. For a proper management, sick and weak trees must be thinned, but as of now the forestry industry is not developed. There are no specialized logging companies or equipment. Moreover, the forests do not count with internal roads, making loggin a dangerous activity. Deaths and injuries are not uncommon due to such unfavorable conditions, making it harder for people to actively practice thinning despite the practice being a scientifically verified method to care for forests. There is an urgent need to refit the national forests, so that they are adequate for logging: safe for workers, practical for machinery. A more efficient environment and process is key to a developed forestry industry.
To solve this problem, the government needs to take action. Companies should be able to sustainably explore the resources that forests provide with good equipment and ESG practices, keeping the forest healthy and using their profit to re-invest in the forest. This would benefit people (whose taxes will be invested into other needed servies) as well as companies, which will be able to get carbon credits.

Sustainable forest management
Forest management through CXP
Korea has once done the miracle of turning barren lands into forests. Now, with CXP technology, it is possible to store carbon in wood for a long time. Using all this know-how it is possible to turn barren lands into forests all around the world and develop CXP industrial complexes to contribute with the economic development of other countries. The CXP industrial park will have as a base requirement the sustainable forest management and strive to supply wood continuously. The petrochemical industry is usually developed nearby the seashore, which is advantageous for logistics, transportation and manufacturing. On the other hand, the CXP industry will be developed in several areas near forests. It is necessary to develop this industry in a way that fits the production and consumption of the country where it is installed, reducing the CO2 generated during logistics.
We hope that humanity will come together to get through this crisis we are facing.
This is possible with the CXP know-how.
