This was an excellent opportunity to learn from their example and compare the different pros and cons of various models. Denmark is in the process of doubling the state forest area to be set-a-side for biodiversity to a total of 20%. The development in society and climatic changes request us to find a balance between the resources and services our forests can provide. How does Denmark implement integration and segregation of biodiversity conservation in forest policy and management? What are the reflections of research and other European countries? The above focus are crosscutting for two Danish events. Special attention will be given to the following topics: protecting biodiversity elements at forest level, forest restoration for conservation, stakeholder involvement, forests dynamics, climate change, succession, trade-offs.
