For acknowledging in its Integrated Management System Policy that sustainable development is one of the foundations of its wood and pulp production activities, CENIBRA develops a number of actions aiming at protecting the existing natural resources of its lands, as well as enhancing the environmental awareness among its employees and the communities.
By adopting operating practices based on procedures derived from standards ISO 9001-2008 and 14001-2004, and an extensive natural resource improvement and monitoring program, the Company prevents and mitigates the environmental impacts arising out of its activities, besides protecting the natural heritage existing in its permanent preservation and reserve areas, which correspond to approximately …show more content…
Therefore, the answers to this question must be founded on an environmental monitoring program that, on top of producing a thorough environmental change diagnostic, is also committed to provide inputs for the improvement of planted forest stewardship techniques.
These programs’ objectives are to record and evaluate the results of any natural or induced changes and phenomena by monitoring the evolution of resources in CENIBRA’s Forest Stewardship Units and their areas of influence. For that purpose, indicators are identified and used as a means to detect the environmental change direction and to provide inputs for preparing and continuously improving CENIBRA’s forest stewardship system. Some results of wildlife, vegetation and water resource monitoring are reviewed in the following paragraphs.
Planting forests and keeping preserved areas in good conservation condition, including all environmental elements (wildlife, vegetation, water resources, and ecological and evolutional relations) is an essential question for …show more content…
Smaller tracts of land were selected from these areas for study; surveys were conducted in 2002, 2007 and 2012, and the following data were gathered: biomass volume, specie identification, CO2 inventory and diversity rates, among others. Measurements made in 2007 and 2012 enabled to determine the forest growth rate and the evolution of the following indicators: diversity variation, biomass increment and capture of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Results obtained already in 2005 enabled to evaluate the dynamics of the surveyed woods, when it was found out that all conservation indicators were positive, showing that the areas were and are going through an evolution process toward increasing richness and biodiversity. Another consequence is the climate improvement through CO2 capture from the atmosphere.
After the second stage of field survey in 2007, the collected data provided input to four master’s degree theses in the Federal University of Viçosa’s post graduation
