Sustainable forest management uses sound forest science, a world-class research network and modern processing facilities which has allowed New Brunswick to be one of the largest producers of sustainable wood products in the country.  Learn more about how forest resources are managed sustainably through stewardship, adaptation, and innovation.

Conservation of Biodiversity

Biodiversity means nature. It refers to the variety of life on earth, and includes the multitude of species, their genetic distinctions, their relationships, and the ecosystems they form. Over millions of years, an intricate web of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms have evolved together, creating diverse and robust ecosystems that together sustain our planet’s health. Nature provides essential services like pollination, water purification, climate regulation, and recreational opportunities. The natural world is under pressure and intentional efforts are needed to ensure that species and ecosystem services are not lost. Preserving biodiversity is preserving the planet’s natural resilience, ensuring that life can adapt to changes and thrive.
