“While cutting trees for various purposes, it is critical to focus on planting more trees so that we can reap all the benefits from trees.
“Trees can lock up carbon for centuries, which is something humans and the planet desperately need, given the damage done to the atmosphere by carbon-emitting human activity,” he said.
While issuing several directives to improve the forestry sector, Majaliwa said creating an enabling environment for the establishment and development of forest product industries will efficiently and effectively process the plant.
