Las auditorias de Certificación FSC 100% de Manejo Forestal y Cadena de Custodia de nuestras concesiones Chullachaqui y Otorongo fueron aprobadas para la zafra 2018.
Agradecemos al trabajo y dedicación de todo el personal administrativo, Forestal y Operativo de Forestal Otorongo, gracias a su apoyo se logró este resultado.
Bozovich shares this study, where part of the research has been in made in our “Forestal Otorongo’s” FSC Certified concession in Madre de Dios, Peru.
Jaguars are losing territory because of the encroach on tropical forests. A study issue of Biological Conservation offers hope. Scientists found that in some lightly logged forests in Guatemala and Peru—certified by independent experts as “well managed”.
In Peru, the researchers examined logging concessions in Amazon Basin’s Madre de Dios. Part of the study was made in the FSC certified concession. All forestry operations in the reserve must be certified by the independent nonprofit Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
In both Guatemala and Peru, they detected more than 20 other mammal species, including prey for the big cats. The newly opened canopy may have encouraged growth of the plants they eat.
Anand Roopsind, a postdoctoral research fellow at Boise State University, says these findings reaffirm other research demonstrating the value of lightly logged forests for jaguar conservation. The FSC enjoys significant support among conservationists.
“EL SECTOR FORESTAL PERUANO ESTÁ EMPEZANDO A ATRAER A INVERSIONISTAS EXTRANJEROS”
El mercado de compras y adquisiciones ha estado movido en el primer trimestre del año y actualmente los inversionistas están siendo atraídos por la industria de madera.
Drago Bozovich indica que piensan recuperar el terreno perdido durante el 2017 y con mejores precios, por lo tanto con mejores márgenes. Bozovich espera vender alrededor de US$24 millones.
Bozovich is proud to share the results of the study made by the San Diego Zoo Global about the effects of sustainable logging practices in medium sized mammals and jaguars in Peru and Guatemala. This study was done using large-scale camera trap surveys. In Peru part of the study was made in the FSC certified concession “Forestal Otorongo” in Madre de Dios managed by Bozovich.
We below set out a brief summary of its content:
Over the last few decades deforestation of humid tropical forests around the world has continuously increased.
Forest certification was created as an independent third-party verification of responsible forest management with strict standards. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), 1993, has a global forest certification system that accredits companies that use sound social and environmental practices for forest management.
Certified wood sells for a higher price in international markets and companies get increased market access.
Logging practices vary widely. Reduced-impact logging is considered best practice and third-party certification aims to ensure that strict standards includes minimizing the number of roads constructed, avoiding sensitive areas and strictly regulating hunting. We use large-scale camera trap surveys to evaluate terrestrial mammal communities in FSC certified logging concessions in Guatemala and Peru
Camera traps detected 22 species of large and medium sized mammals in Guatemala and 27 in Peru. The initial impact was positive on several herbivore species. We found no avoidance of logging roads; Our results indicate that well-managed logging concessions can maintain important populations of large and medium-sized mammals including large herbivores and large carnivores as long as hunting is controlled and timber volumes extracted are low. Responsible forest management would therefore be an ideal activity in the buffer zones and multiple use zones of protected areas creating much less impact and conflict than alternatives such as agriculture or cattle ranching while still providing economic opportunities.
