Abstract
This indicator reports value of capital investment and annual expenditure in forest management, wood and nonwood product industries, forest-based environmental services, recreation, and tourism.
Investment in the forest sector, both in long-term capital projects and annual operating costs, is essential to sustain and improve the many ecosystem services that are derived from forests. The evaluation of capital investment indicators provides insights into the long-term and yearly expenses aimed at improving forest management, forest-related businesses, and the skills and knowledge of those working in the forest industry.
