Logging History

Logging history refers to the chronological account of how forests have been harvested for wood and other resources over time. It includes the techniques used, the impact on ecosystems, and the changes in forest management practices. Historically, logging has evolved from small-scale, select cutting by hand to large-scale operations with heavy machinery. This history also highlights the balance between resource extraction and conservation, showing how societal needs for timber have influenced forest health and biodiversity. Understanding logging history helps us appreciate the ongoing challenges of sustainable forestry and forest conservation today.
