Mr Branislav will provide technical and professional advice on forestry matters including the integration of environmental, social, and economic values for sustainable forest management. He has more than 30 years’ experience in forest management, most recently as Business Excellence Manager for APP Jakarta. This followed his role as Forest Planning Business Unit Head for APRIL Group, a leading manufacturer in the pulp and paper industry.

In making the announcement Peter Brydon, Interim Chief Executive Officer said “The role of Chief Forester is to provide trusted technical expertise. We welcome Branislav’s international experience as well as his vast knowledge gained from working in Australian and New Zealand forestry.

“One of our greatest challenges is the impact and risk a changing climate brings and Branislav is well placed to ensure we adapt to changes, embrace innovation and enhance value” Peter said. “Branislav is a committed forester with a passion for balancing the values forests offer including important timber resources, biodiversity, and recreation. I welcome Branislav to OneFortyOne.”
