The Brazilian pulp and paper sector has always been more than willing to take actions related to biodiversity beyond the currently accepted business models.
Several scientific papers and studies evidence that forest plantations are used as corridors for wildlife to go from one forest fragment to the other, providing shelter and refuge for numerous fauna species. Birds, mammals, reptiles and other organisms are often drawn back to their original habitat. As a two-way street, health issues of plantations are associated with the preservation of the natural environment, once natural enemies of pests that cause problems to plantations, are also found in forests. In this perspective, landscape management is critical to ensuring biodiversity.
It is possible to balance productivity and preservation of biodiversity through the understanding of landscape concepts, ensuring connectivity among fragments and preserving natural areas.
