Forestry: What It Is?

Forestry involves the study and management of the complex interactions within forests, including climate, soils, water, plants, and animals, with the goal of preserving forest balance and ensuring sustainability. Sustainable forestry aims to allow economic use of forests without damage by replacing resources and minimizing impacts on wildlife. The document discusses how deforestation contributes to climate change by reducing carbon absorption and habitat loss.

Forestry

WHAT IT IS? 
What is
forestry? 
 There is a complex interaction of
climate, soils and rocks, water, animals,
(including insects and fungi) and plants
in  a natural forest.
 Forestry is the study of this complex
interaction, the management of the
various components of the forest, the
preservation of its' natural balance (of
forests and the life forms they support)
as well as the care of it to ensure its'
wellbeing.
Sustainable
Forestry 
 Good forestry programs also
make it possible for humans
to get some economic value
from it, without hurting the
forests in any way. This way
of using the forest is known
as Sustainable Forestry.
Sustainable
Forestry 
 In sustainable forestry, efforts are put into
replacing almost all the resources we get
from the forests, whiles extra care is taken
to ensure that there is very little damage to
wildlife and the natural environment. 

Example: only old trees may be cut down,


allowing younger trees to grow to ensure
continuity, and trees are planted to replace
the ones cut down.
Sustainable Forestry 
 Unfortunately, environmental issues cannot be separated from politics and
economics.
 In sustainable forestry there are usually very strict rules and consequences with
the way resources are extracted from that forest.
 This means items made from resources that come from forests will cost a lot in
the shops, so consumers need to be prepared.
 That's why campaigns are developed to educate consumers (industries and
individuals including you) on the value of forests resources and the dangers of
deforestation. Efforts are directed to make people become more
environmentally aware and friendly. Example, people are encouraged to
recycle more, to use paper products from recycled pulp, and to encourage
everyone to join the fight to save our forests.
