​The forum will highlight how the intensified energetic use of wood is affecting biodiversity in forests, it will identify potential synergies as well as conflicts and seek ways to prevent conflicts as far as possible.

Participants will learn more about how changing use patterns are affecting biodiversity in forests and discuss the implications as well as possible consequences for forest management under the new strategic framework conditions.
