Forests will play a crucial role in the transformation from an economy based on fossil fuels to one relying on renewable resources. Hence, besides being a source of raw material for the forest industry, in the future, forests are expected to increasingly contribute to the production of energy as well as providing a wide range of environmental and social services. Thus, the objective of the present study is to assess the short-term and long-term potential for increasing sustainable wood supply in the EFINORD countries. Present practices and prospects for intensive forest management have been assessed using information from a questionnaire complemented by compilation and evaluating of national forest inventory (NFI) data and other forest sector relevant information. The study indicates a striking variation in the intensity of utilisation of the wood resources within the EFINORD region. For the region as a whole, there seems to be a substantial unused (biophysical) potential. However, recent NFI data from some countries indicate that annual felling rates can be underestimated. If felling rates are higher than currently recognised then, given the increased demand for wood-based energy, there appears to be a need to discuss strategies for large-scale implementation of more intensive forestry practices to ensure that the availability of wood resources in the future can meet an increasing demand in the EFINORD countries.

Human–bear conflicts occur frequently in the Pasvik Valley, Norway. We used a variantof the hair-trapping method with higher densities of traps (2.5 x 2.5 km grid) todetect brown bears moving near human settlements and livestock. We distributed 20hair traps for one month close to a farm with frequent observations of grazing bears.The study area consisted of one area close to the farm, and one adjacent area withoutsettlements. We collected 85 hair samples and identified 13 different individuals bySTR analysis. In the farm area, we detected 4 different males once, and a female thatwas detected in both areas. In comparison, nine bears (2 males and 7 females) weredetected for more than one week in the area without settlements, suggesting lowerroaming activity. Conclusively, hair trapping has the potential to survey bears at specificlocations of importance to the wildlife management.
