The Basque Country has a forestry surface occupying more than 490,000 hectares, ten times more than the urban land and around 68% of its total surface.
These figures give an idea of the protagonism held by forestry in our ecosystem and the role it plays in our everyday activity. Forests trap CO2; they contribute to regulating the climate and to maintaining river basins, as well as helping to preserve biodiversity.
But they also enable the development of important economic activity in sectors such as timber production, the obtaining of raw materials and leisure and well-being.
At NEIKER we know the importance of preserving forests, and that’s why we work to provide different forestry solutions.
