They will not build the industrial sawmill intended to exploit the forests of the Pyrenees.
- The Italian multinational Florian has abandoned the project of the giant sawmill to be built in Lannemezán (Occitania). It was about cutting as many hayeds as 1,200 football fields a year.
At the end of 2019, the business group Florian obtained approval for the installation of an industrial sawmill in Lannemezana (Occitania). At the time of the presentation of the project, the need to exploit the beech forests of the entire Pyrenean range to meet the objectives of sawmill was highlighted; 40% of the cuts, for example, were planned in Biarnon and the Northern Basque Country.
Florián had the approval and funding of the main institutions for the presentation of the project. As the intentions of the multinational emerged, many associations and individuals joined the project, which in recent years have worked to disseminate information on the issue and to question the ecological viability of industrial sawmill.
The Touche pas à ma forêt group, formed against the giant sawmill, brings together 40 associations, political parties and other structures, as well as hundreds of citizens. In fact, the location of the project in Lannemezana would affect all the Pyrenean forests. To feed the sawmill, we would have to cut as many hayeds as 1,200 football fields a year.
Therefore, the Florian group has abandoned the project without minimal conditions and with a broad movement against it. On 17 August the Regional Prefecture of the Upper Pyrenees reports this. In fact, the prefetura has pointed out that the multinational has made the decision after hearing the results of an investigation initiated by the State services in 2020.
