Both Germany and Japan have a long tradition in various forms of forest management, they are both covered by extensive woodlands and their growing stock is significantly high. However, Japan as a high industrialized country, shows an exceptional underuse of its forest resources and forested rural landscape and urban agglomerations are spatially disconnected. In contrast, in Germany the demand for wood is almost at the level of the annual domestic allowable cut and the intermingling of forest with urban areas or forestry with the society is heavily influenced by numerous interactions. In an outstanding shift of a paradigm Japan today is performing a dramatic turn to a sustainable use of their own domestic forest and wood resources. In contrast, again, Germany is now realizing the finite nature of this renewable natural resource. The German-Japanese Forestry Symposium discusses these diverse regional and institutional situations as well as the lately starting changes and multiple challenges that come along. Coming from such identities the speakers will derive perspectives for a renaissance in forestry in Japan and show paths of optimization for the usage of the limited resources in German forestry as well.
Thus, the 1st German-Japanese Forestry Symposium, will strengthen the exchange of country-specific points of view and economical solutions towards sustainable forestry between stakeholders of German- Japanese forest- and timber-sciences as well as the industry. Furthermore contributions will be made to a better understanding of the efficiency and flexibility of the forests in Europe and Asia.
The German-Japanese Forestry Symposium is setting up the latest platform of national exchange on forestry issues between Germany and Japan and creates the chance to fruitful discussions between stakeholders from science, administration & policy leadership and the forest-wood chain industry. Main aims are to understand needs from and approach to forests & forestry, to develop a solid network of professionals along the value chain and to face challenges in a changing world and finally to set up a template to be continued in the future, periodically rotating between both countries.
Target group are forestry professionals of academic institutions and decision takers (national and regional universities, research institutes, etc.), national and prefectural state forest administration, leading forestry entrepreneurs and responsible person of forest owner associations.
Selected high-level professionals (twinned authorship, academic/policy & professional) from each country’s leading institutions will present an overview on the latest national development in the professional and policy sector and dispose of a large network down into all technical levels from forestry until the wood-based industry.
