Transforming Forests into Futures along 17 Key Indicators

Infographic titled “Key Indicators for Integrative Forest Management (IFM)” showing a stylized forest landscape with numbered icons illustrating indicators grouped into three categories. On the left, Pressure indicators include disturbed or damaged forest area and recreation in forests. At the bottom, State indicators include dead wood, habitat trees, tree species abundance and distribution, regeneration, native and non-native tree species and site adaptation, timber production potential, management intensity for wood supply, forest carbon, revenue of forest enterprises, education and training, and forest structure. On the right, Response indicators include plans for retention of valuable forest structures, forest risk mitigation and climate change adaptation, forest management plans, and protected forest areas. The graphic includes trees of varying ages, deadwood, wildlife, recreation paths, logging elements, and management activities, with European Union funding and TRANSFORMIT logos displayed at the top.
