In accordance with the Forest Insurance Act, we provide a comprehensive insurance service for forest owners that cover losses in forests caused by eight types of disasters, including fire, meteorological disasters (wind, water, snow, drought, freeze, and tide-water damage), and volcanic eruptions.
Forestry Insurance plays an important role in stabilizing forest management by fulfilling multiple functions of forests in the early restoration of disaster-stricken areas as a safety net that helps forest owners prepare for disasters.
We believe that diversity is vitally important to fulfill sustainable development of the world and we aim to achieve this through our research work at the Forest Research and Management Organization. We promote gender equality so that both men and women are able to show their individual abilities.
