The Centre for Econics and Ecosystem Management, in Europe, is especially committed to the study, conservation and development of European beech forests. European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is endemic to Europe; the remnant forest are mostly altered and severely affected by management and other antrhopgenic disturbances. Still, especially the ancient and old-growth beech forests can teach us important insights for sustainable development.
We are proud of accompanying an important iniatitive related to the development of a serial UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to old European beech forests.
