According to habit, most people burn and treat the vegetation to plant forests. This issue affects the granting of certificates (FSC). The district is actively propagating and mobilizing people to reduce the burning of vegetation and implement methods of collecting vegetation and bringing it to a safe place.

However, the district is still in a situation where people burn vegetation to plant acacia. Meanwhile, the criteria for granting FSC certification prohibit burning vegetation after harvest. The district is directing localities to focus on mobilizing and propagating people not to burn vegetation to plant large timber forests, ensuring the criteria for being granted FSC certification.

If forest growers want to export wood and wood products to the markets of Japan, Korea, the US and the EU, they need to change the way they manage organic materials after exploitation in an environmentally friendly way.
