Sustainable Forest Management
Defining what sustainable forest management involves and how its success can be measured can be as challenging as holding onto a freshly caught fish. Here are a few links that help rectify what this slippery word actually means.
- A definition by the Food & Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
- A definition by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture & Water Resources.
- A list of regulations that apply when the Forestry Corporation of New South Wales implements sustainable forest management.
- The Government of Western Australia’s Department of Parks & Wildlife way to explain what ecologically sustainable forest management is.
- Rainforest Alliance promotes sustainable forest management “as the only realistic way to conserve our forests”. Short and sharp.
