Environment

Peru, forest country

More than 60% of Peru is covered with Amazonian forests which generate diverse environmental and economical benefits for us such as clean water, oxygen, medicinal plants and the protection of the soil against erosion. In addition, our forests contain more than 3,000 of the 20,000 arboreal species that exist in the world, and also have a great density of trees – up to 800 have been counted in a single hectare.

The Peruvian Amazon trees are, thus, an abundant, renewable resource that can generate great wealth for the country, that is, if the economic, ecological and social interests come together in a system of sustainable stewardship. A tropical wood business, organized in a suitable manner, can provide valuable revenue and jobs, and above all protect forests from the destruction generated by poorer populations when carrying out subsistence activities like migratory agriculture and cattle ranching.
The reality of our Amazon

95% of the forests lost by deforestation have been destroyed by the clear-cutting method, an illegal survival activity that creates a large impact on the forest and increases poverty, because it does not allow for soil regeneration. This method is mainly used in the development of agriculture and for migrating cattle (87%), and to a lesser extent for generating energy (8%) and forestry (5%).

Unfortunately, agriculture destroys Amazonian lands because they lack the necessary conditions to sustain the activity over time, and after 2 to 4 harvests they become completely unproductive. Furthermore, open burning of the forest, prior to planting, destroys the atmosphere and kills the microfauna that subsist on the Earth, causing an increase in poverty because the nutrients from the soil can no longer be recovered.

Forestry, on the other hand, is the activity that creates the least amount of impact on Amazonian soil. If it is done properly, it permits the utilization of a renewable resource without jeopardizing the needs of future generations, thereby generating permanent wealth in one of the poorest areas of the country..
Forestation creates well-being

In a predominantly woodland territory such as Peru, forestry activity has the potential to become a principal means of development for the country, as long as it is carried out through careful planning and uses sustainable forest-management techniques.

Presently, less than 30% of permanent forest production has an appraised value. From the 100 m3 of wood available in one hectare of forest, only 3 m3 are extracted on average, and it is believed that in an ideal future, 10 m3 to 15 m3 could be extracted. This proves that forestation is still far below its potential, and this is confirmed by statistics from 2006, according to which the activity represents around 1% of Peru’s economy.

If the Peruvian forest industry creates sustainable growth in the next ten years, it could create more than 500,000 new jobs and more than 1 billion dollars in exports. Also, new techniques for sustainable forest-management and selective cutting would permit accelerated and long-term forest regeneration, guaranteeing an activity which is sustainable over time.
The Bozovich Group in the forest

We know that the forest is the source of our companies’ well-being. Year after year, we carry out studies to protect it, with the support of our suppliers, and invest in the most suitable technology in order develop our activities with as little impact as possible. For that reason, based on the strategic alliances that have been created, we combine ancestral practices with modern, sustainable forest-management techniques; we respect seedlings and minimum diameters intended for harvesting; and we take special care of forests with a high conservation value.

With the aim of diminishing the impact on the forests, our suppliers design five-year and one-year plans for activities which provide for protection of people nearby as well as fauna.

Also, through the years, we have tried to diversify our supply to create a greater commercial interest in different arboreal species and therefore to reduce the pressure that exists on a minority of them. Today the total value of our products is increasing daily, and we commercialize more than 30 species of fine wood, originating both from tropical as well as from as temperate forests.
