Bergwaldprojekt International

The wide-ranging contexts of the mountain forest and an international audience from the very beginning show that the mountain forest idea knows no borders. As early as the 1990s, the idea was therefore brought from Switzerland to Germany and Austria, and later also to Catalonia.

The mountain forest

From time immemorial, we have depended on the mountain forest as a protective forest. It protects us from avalanches, rockfall, erosion and floods. At the same time, it serves as a habitat for numerous animal and plant species, as a recreational area and as a source of wood. As an important carbon sink and supplier of clean air, it also plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change.
