IOS Partners is excited to announce the launch of IOS Forestry, an economic development and forest management consulting company. With growing concerns about climate change and deforestation, IOS Forestry focuses on providing innovative and cutting-edge environmental management planning in both the public and private sectors. The company has enjoyed early success, having been recently engaged by the US Forest Service to provide forest inventory services at the Olympic National Forest in Washington.
The IOS Forestry Team specializes in providing the following services:
– Forest Management Planning
– GIS & Mapping
– Public Private Partnerships
– Trade & Investment Promotion
IOS Forestry will address a pressing issue, with better forestry management becoming increasingly more in demand. According to a World Bank report, forests are one of the most mismanaged resources worldwide. Often seriously undervalued, many of the environmental benefits from forests do not enter markets and poor governance has fueled illegal activities. These actions have had a negative impact on the surrounding communities, which affects the livelihoods of the more than 1.6 billion people depending on forests and forest product industries. A main task, therefore, is to help governments improve policy, economic management, and governance in the forest sector, including forest concessions policies and allocations.
IOS Forestry aims to solve these issues by developing forest management strategies that have long-lasting environmental, social and financial impacts. The company’s ultimate objective is to make the worlds’ forests more diverse, productive, and resilient than ever before.
