Forestry for People

Forestry for People is an approach that prioritizes the needs and well-being of communities when managing forest resources. It recognizes that forests are not just ecosystems but also vital for livelihoods, recreation, and cultural significance. This perspective encourages sustainable practices that balance environmental health with economic and social benefits, fostering collaboration among local communities, governments, and conservationists. The goal is to ensure that forests continue to provide essential services—like clean air, water, and biodiversity—while also supporting local economies and enriching people's lives. This holistic view promotes responsible stewardship of forest resources for future generations.
