      <description><![CDATA[ Production and exports in the Finnish forest industry grew at quicker pace in the first six months of 2011 than during the same period a year earlier, and profitability improved. However, after summer the situation has been affected by the heightened uncertainty over the world economy, especially the euro area. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ The world’s forests are complex and ever-changing. Yet as a growing human population places greater demands on forest lands for forest products, land for conversion to agriculture and as a means to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions it is clear that information on the world’s forest is vital to the future of the forest management. ]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[ Impact of nature management measures becoming visible in commercial forests ]]></title>
      <link>http://www.metla.fi/tiedotteet/2011/2011-06-14-state-of-forests.htm</link>
      <guid>http://www.metla.fi/tiedotteet/2011/2011-06-14-state-of-forests.htm</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[ Over the last two decades, the state of Finland's forests has improved, while growing stock has increased by over 40% in the last 40 years. During this time, it has been possible to harvest and use wood equivalent to the current tree stock volume of 2,200 million cubic metres. Nature management measures have been carried out in commercial forests in order to safeguard biodiversity. Over the past 35 years, the area of protected forests has tripled. Thanks to these measures, the decline in certain forest species has decelerated or halted, although it has not been possible to halt the decline in forest species overlaa. Efforts to preserve biodiversity must be continued. ]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.metla.fi/tiedotteet/2011/2011-02-15-forest-sector-renewal.htm</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[ By shifting the focus away from supporting existing structures, and channelling change towards renewal and diversification, the forest sector could become a thriving combination of new and traditional activities. This is the conclusion presented by the book ‘After the transition - The future of the Finnish Forest Sector,’ published on 15 February 2011 by the researchers of the Finnish Forest Research Institute Metla. ]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.metla.fi/tiedotteet/2011/2011-01-28-global-drivers-en.htm</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[ There is a number of important drivers of change that affect forests and their products and services. They include climate change, population growth & urbanisation, associated changes in values and consumption patterns, globalisation, changes in markets and investments, and technological change. The Policy brief: Making forests work for people and nature - Responding to global drivers of change presents key messages and recommendations for safeguarding and enhancing the availability of forest based products and services. ]]></description>
