Timber Companies and Its Role in Making the Industry Sustainable

Posted: Jan 21, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 45 | Bookmark and Share

The government and the timber companies are considered as two of the major stakeholders in the timber industry in North America. Well this is not just true in this territory as this is applicable too to other countries of the world. The government and the timber companies will always have a say on the direction of the industry.



The role played by timber companies and the government in the industry



In this industry, trees are felled and these are used as structural materials for use in construction or the wood pulp coming from trees are used for paper production. Timbers are also used in making furniture that can address the needs of many homes. And making the industry work are the many timber companies and these timber companies may appear at any stage of the business. These timber companies may appear at the start where trees are being prepared for harvesting or these timber companies may appear near the end when the trees are about to be shipped to many companies that will process the timber. Joining these timber companies in the industry as stewards is the government. The government will be there to assist these timber companies in regulating the industry.



The government as the partner of timber companies in guiding the direction of the industry



To be more specific, the government is there to effectively conserve the forests, making sure that timber companies, loggers and landowners will not abuse the forests. Conservation moves by the government can be done thru government ownerships. For example in the United States, the government at all levels can own their forestland.



The government agencies that manage the land include the Bureau of Land Management the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service. These agencies are mandated to protect the forest land and also work with timber companies whenever necessary. The desired set-up is a timber industry where the government, timber companies and other stakeholders protecting the forests and making it sustainable. But if recent studies are to be believed, the timberland in the US is suffering. When the timberland suffers, then stakeholders like timber companies have to suffer too. According to one report that was conducted by the US Forest Service a few years back which is titled Forest on the Edge: Housing Development on America’s Private Forests, there is around 13 million acres of forest lost since 1992 and this is equal the size of West Virginia. The same study added that around 23 million acres will be gone by 2050 and this is equal the size of Maine. And according to the same report, the culprit is clear and the reason for the dwindling in timberland is caused by massive development.



Timber companies should work to supply the needs of the industry and to protect its source



For this reason, it is imperative that major stakeholders of the industry led by the government and timber companies should take action too. In the same way that timber companies are depending on the industry, it should also work with the government too to ensure that some conservation steps are made. The nice thing is that these timber companies are working too thanks to its conservation efforts and at the same time these companies still can satisfy the increasing demand for its many products.
