Réunion (La Réunion), an island prized for its exceptional biodiversity, is home to a wide variety of forests, ranging from tropical rainforest to stands of maritime pine. These forest properties play a crucial role in regulating the climate, storing carbon and preserving fragile ecosystems. The production forests of Réunion, notably those composed of Scots pine and pedunculate oak, are harvested for the sale of timber, for firewood and for other uses such as leisure and hunting. The regulatory framework, in particular the French Forest Code, restricts clear-felling and requires management plans to ensure responsible, sustainable forest management. Numerous tax advantages also exist, encouraging investment in woodland parcels across the island.
