dc.descriptionIn October last year, Russia announced a policy to ban the export of softwood logs and high-balue hardwood logs. It further inreased the number of countries that regulate log exports. New Zealand, which has about 1,697,000 hectares of production forests, accounts for 70 percent of Korea's softwood log imports as of 2020. This ratio was possible due to the steady growth of New Zealand forest industry. New Zealand has recorded an average annual growth rate of 6% in wood productions since 2015. Accordingly exports to overseas account for about 58 percent.<br /> Among the reasons for this rise is the cooperation with the Maori, a native of New Zealand. The Maori which account for about 15% of New Zealand's population owns 40 percent of the commercial afforestation. They are the long-term investors considering thier environmental social and cultural influences. The total value of Maori's economic asset has skyrocketed over the past 15 years due to the growth of forests and forestry. New Zealand's timber sector also had $6.6 billion annual export revernue.<br /> As in the case of New Zealand and the Maori, sustainable forest management requires cooperation with local community.
