| Tiivistelmä: | The forest industry is a resource-intensive branch with various impacts on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This study aims at examining: i. how the ecosystem (henceforth as: e-s.) approach is implemented in the Finnish forest industry, and ii. to outline the mental models of environmental experts of corporations, and their conceptualization of some key terms of e-s. thinking. Interviews are performed on 12 experts about their opinions on the main future challenges, the risks, the mistakes of the past, the possibilities and the successes confronting the forest industry. The results were analyzed using the DPSIR (Driving forces-Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses) framework model. There are several recommendations on how the e-s. approach can be integrated into corporate environmental management. |
