Galicia in figures
• 2.7 million inhabitants (stagnating, ageing, coastal zone >70% inland <30%)
Total extension: aprox. 3 M ha (approximately the size of Belgium )
Geographical dispersal of the population (76% in municipalities < 2 000 inhabitants)
Own Language (Galician)
Primary sectors relevant to economy(Agriculture, Fishing, Forestry[+FBI],…)
Other important sectors (Energy, car industry, textile …)
Still Convergence Region
“dhas arboledas non son brauas sino que se ponen y plantan y cultivan … dhas arboledas crian en heredades propias limitadas y amojonadas como si fusen huertas o viñas y las benefician curándolas y labrándolas y cortando de ellas de tantos en tantos años muy amenudo porque la tierra es de tal calidad que quantomas se cortare, tanto mas naçe y crece y es tanta la arboleda que produce que tiene necesidad de yrla entresacando todos los años”.

Forest Based Industries in Galicia, main figures
Annual turnover in Galicia: >2.000 M€ (3-4 % Galician GDP)
Direct Employment: 15.000 persons (1,3% Galician workers)
Induced Employment: 60.000 persons (5,3% Galician workers)
Of which in rural areas: 65 %
