JOHANNESBURG - September is Arbor Month, a reminder that forests are more than landscapes, they’re lifelines.
Sappi understands the importance of trees, and it's not just paper-thin.
The roots of its connection to the forest run deep.
It's been conserving indigenous forests and protecting traditional medicine.
About 7 percent of its land is made up of indigenous forest patches, protected alongside commercial operations.
We branch into this conversation with Duane Roothman, Vice President of Forestry at Sappi Southern Africa.
