Forest monitoring law : a monitoring framework for resilient European forests

Forests need to be made more resistant to threats like pests, droughts and wildfires that are exacerbated by climate change. The Forest Monitoring Law will plug information gaps about European forests and create a comprehensive forest knowledge base to allow Member States, forest owners and forest managers to improve their response to the growing pressures on forests. It will strengthen the capacity of forests to fulfill their multiple environmental and socio-economic functions.
