Adaptive Forest Management

Adaptive Forest Management is a flexible approach to managing forests that involves continuously monitoring the forest's condition, learning from outcomes, and adjusting practices accordingly. It recognizes that forests and environmental conditions change over time, so management strategies are not fixed but evolve based on new information and results. This approach helps ensure sustainable use of forest resources, maintains biodiversity, and enhances resilience to threats like pests or climate change. By applying science and being adaptable, forest managers can better meet ecological, economic, and social goals over the long term.
