Forest strategy and forest management practices: to achieve optimal balance between the conflicting demands will be crucial to find compromise solutions that can unite the different stakeholders. Prior to any decision, the UEAA strongly recommends broad scientific discussions and evaluations of scientific findings e.g. between scientists within the different regions, before changes in current management practices are requested.
