...against pests 'brought' by climate change, the only way to fight them is through high-quality and professional (good) forestry!

The mild and windy winter raises concerns that new, invasive species could appear in Finland's forests. Professor Jarkko Hantula believes: "The risk of forest damage is increased by the prevalence of spruce stands and the growing popularity of continuous forest cover."

J. Hantula assesses that "the potential damage to forests is rarely discussed in the context of climate negotiations (disputes)." "It is not enough to simply say: global warming increases damage to forests! A broader perspective is needed: what exactly is harming the forests, how this damage spreads or has spread, and – most importantly – how to combat it!"
