Each hectare of planted forest preserves about ten hectares of native forests. This means that the forest sector is the custodian of more than 1.5 million hectares of natural reserves, and planted forests also guarantee the balance of biodiversity for native reserves. Planted forests protect native forests, improve air quality, and reduce thermal amplitude.

Forest planting activities stand out for sustainability by offering the market renewable wood, which fights the illegal consumption of wood from native forests. These projects are licensed and certified in compliance with the current Forest Code, which also provides for the protection and recovery of permanent preservation areas.
