Big logs in Switzerland
• 2nd highest wood volume per forest– 340 m3 per hectare– Only Guatemala higher at 355 m3
• 1/3 forested, mostly on higher ground• Why? Centuries of big log forest management• Not only lumber and beams, also protection• But…1999 windstorms
– Took tall, old, large diameter– 2 years’ harvest in 3 days in Switzerland– 1 year’s in all of Europe in 3 days.

Small logs in Switzerland?
• Climate change
more windstorms, more storm damage and windthrow
• Large logs cost more energy and time for– Transportation and handling– Conversion
• Reduced consumption of solid beams and wide lumber
• Increased composite panels, edge-glued panels, glulam and other EWPs
• European foresters changing “big log” mentality

Reasons behind deforestation
• Conversion to other land uses (0.4% of worlds’ forests annually in the ’90s)– Agricultural, including grazing– Urbanization
• Unsustainable silvicultural practices– Unmanaged harvesting– Poor regeneration– Fire, insects and diseases– Overharvesting fuelwood
• Poverty and overpopulation

deforestation, but to promote sustainable forest management
• Mutual recognition between schemes an issue• Potential additional roles
– Verification mechanism in Kyoto Protocol– Indication of source, but not proof of legality
