-Forest managers adhere to certification standards such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) to ensure that forests are managed in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

Reforestation and Regeneration : After harvesting pine trees, reforestation and regeneration efforts are undertaken to replant trees and restore forest ecosystems. This ensures that harvested areas are promptly reforested to maintain forest cover and biodiversity.

Selective Harvesting : Selective harvesting techniques are used to selectively remove mature trees while preserving younger trees and forest understory vegetation. This allows for the sustainable extraction of timber while maintaining forest health and ecosystem integrity.

Reduced-Impact Harvesting : Harvesting operations are conducted using reduced-impact harvesting techniques to minimize soil disturbance, erosion, and damage to wildlife habitat. Machinery and equipment are carefully managed to minimize environmental impacts during harvesting operations.

Forest Certification : Many radiata pine plantations in New Zealand are certified under internationally recognized forest certification schemes such as FSC or PEFC. Certification provides assurance that forest management practices meet strict environmental, social, and economic criteria, including protection of biodiversity, respect for indigenous rights, and adherence to labor standards.
