Waldtage 2024: A call to support stable forests in Germany

The importance of forests for the environment and society is the focus of the "German Forest Days 2024" that will begin tomorrow. Initiatives like this illustrate how valuable our forests are not only for nature, but also for the daily life of the population. Stable forests play a key role in climate protection and at the same time offer recreation rooms for the citizens.

Steffen Bilger, the deputy chair of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, emphasizes the impending danger associated with the planned changes in the Federal Forest Act. His point of view is clear: the existing regulations support sustainable use, which makes both ecologically and economically useful ones. "The one -sided plans of Minister Özdemir could seriously damage the German forests," warns Bilger. The long -term health of our forests depends on well -considered use that also benefits the local population.

Hermann Färber, the rapporteur responsible for the forest in the Committee on Food and Agriculture, complements these concerns and speaks for climatic mixed forests in response to the challenges of climate change. "Instead of rigid regulations, we need more flexibility for forest farmers who have the necessary specialist knowledge," explains Färber. Local circumstances must be taken into account in the management to help the forests.

forests not only contribute to biodiversity, but are also of central importance for the economic development of rural regions. A well -thought -out forest law could help maintain the balance between ecological requirements and economic use. The upcoming forest days are an important platform to discuss the future of our forests and show options for action.

The CDU/CSU parliamentary group sees itself as a representative of popular interests in parliament and is committed to a strong and sustainable forest right. "We have to make sure that the decisions we make benefit from our forests and the people who depend on them," concludes Bilger and appeals to the need for a common procedure to protect the forests.

The "German Wald Days 2024" are therefore not only a celebration of nature, but also an urgent appeal for conscious examination of our forests and the political decisions that affect them. Only together can we protect the valuable ecosystems that are important for current and future generations.

With these considerations it becomes clear how important it is to actively conduct dialogue through the right of forest and protect the forests. Each of us has the responsibility to stand up for a sustainable future in which our forests can continue to thrive.
