Research shows that the country&#8217;s 2016 moratorium on commercial logging has not stopped the deforestation. Albanian forests have been decimated over the past three decades. So much so that Tropoja is one of the only remaining areas in the country where beech trees, which are highly prized in the wood-processing industry, can still be found.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to protect its forests, Albania introduced a 10-year moratorium on commercial logging in 2016. This means that the felling of trees in forests for commercial purposes is prohibited until 2026. The only permissible exception to the moratorium is the cutting down of trees for firewood for families and public institutions such as schools, preschools and health institutions. Families must apply to their municipality for permission to fell trees to obtain firewood for their own personal use. Companies have to get a license to be allowed to fell trees for firewood for public institutions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Albanian law, it is the responsibility of local authorities to manage and control activities in the forests, including commercial forest exploitation. According to official data from Albania&#8217;s Institute of Statistics (INSTAT), exports of wood (mainly charcoal wood) decreased slightly in the period 2012\u20132023. Nevertheless, Italy is still the country to which Albania exports most timber and paper products.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/italys-appetite-for-wood-fuels-albanian-forest-crisis\/a-72384406\">Deutsche Welle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-705\/\">Italy&#8217;s appetite for wood fuels Albanian forest crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7374,575,610,1552,4425],"class_list":["post-139344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-albania","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-forest","tag-italy","tag-wood"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139344\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
