Sustainable forest management (SFM) is defined as a “dynamic and evolving concept, which aims to maintain and enhance the economic, social and environmental values of all types of forests, for the benefit of present and future generations.” Forests and trees, when sustainably managed, make vital contributions both to people and to the planet, bolstering livelihoods, providing clean air and water, conserving biodiversity and responding to climate change. Forest conservation in modern forestry utilizes multiple techniques: - Afforestation and reforestation enlarge forest areas on our planet. - The ability to distinguish and treat tree diseases or pest infestations empowers forestry managers to save their farms and mitigate losses. - Replanting forests after harvesting contributes to ecologically sustainable forestry. - Selective logging and thinning prevent from felling the entire stand. - Pruning saves from logging the whole trees for wood and stops pathogens’ spreading. - Clear-cutting or removal of mature trees contributes to forest health and stimulates offspring growth. - Prescribed burning naturally revives forests – on condition the process does not go beyond control. - Specific training boosts foresters’ proficiency in sustainable forestry techniques. - Weighted planning facilitates the solutions for more sustainable forestry. - Satellite monitoring enables remote control of the forest state and timely response to deviations. There is no on-fit-all solution or combination of solutions, and the list of techniques goes far beyond what above. The design of a forestry management approach is the results of collective efforts of all actors involved (e.g. forestry managers, local businesses, authorities, NGOs, etc.) which consider commercial value, forest specifics, environmental aspects, communities’ needs, and stakeholders’ interests.
