Sustainability of Forests

Sustainable forestry practices aim to maintain and protect the biodiversity of flora and fauna. This includes preserving wildlife habitats and endangered species.

Protecting soil health and water quality is crucial. Sustainable forestry involves measures to prevent soil erosion and maintain clean water sources.

Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and helping to mitigate climate change. Sustainable management ensures that forests continue to play this vital role.

Sustainable forestry supports the livelihoods of local communities by providing resources like timber, food, and medicinal plants. It also promotes recreational and educational activities.

This involves carefully planning and managing the extraction of forest resources to ensure that the forest can regenerate and continue to provide resources in the future.

Active management of fire and pests is essential to protect forests from damage and maintain their health.
