00:00Technology is changing the face of Australia's forestry industry.

00:09Investment in new technologies such as drones,

00:12infrared mapping, laser scanners and sensors

00:15has enabled the industry to minimise its ecological footprint

00:19while maximising wood resources.

00:22Innovation and technological advances

00:25are unlocking a huge array of new and exciting wood materials

00:29including food additives, solvents, medical applications,

00:33biofuels and recyclable food packaging.

00:38Australia's forestry industries are using cutting-edge

00:41wood processing technologies to minimise wood waste.

00:45Today, offcuts and wood waste are turned into important products

00:49that produce bioenergy and heating.

00:53The opportunities of technology are endless.

00:56They're helping to better manage Australia's forests more sustainably.

01:01It helps with the management of fire risks in forests

01:05and provides more detailed information,

01:07helping the planning and management process.

01:11Advances in technology are even allowing access to timber resources

01:15that once were considered lost.

01:18Advances in DNA timber profiling

01:20allows the tracing of wood products back to their forest of origin,

01:24helping in the fight against illegal logging.

01:27Technology is an important part of the science of forest management

01:32and it's going to become increasingly so.

01:34The work that we do now is going to determine the types of forests

01:38that are available for people in the future.

01:41Driven by investment in technology and innovation,

01:44the potential growth for Australia's forest industries is huge.
