Sustainable Forest Management
Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) is a practice that aims to maintain and enhance the health of forest ecosystems while meeting the needs of present and future generations. It involves careful planning and monitoring to ensure that forest resources, such as timber and non-timber products, are used responsibly without causing long-term damage to the environment.
SFM incorporates various strategies, including reforestation, conservation of biodiversity, and protection of water quality. By balancing ecological, economic, and social factors, SFM helps to preserve the vital roles that forests play in carbon storage, wildlife habitat, and community livelihoods, contributing to overall environmental sustainability.
