Management History

Management history in the context of forest history refers to how humans have interacted with and cared for forests over time. This includes practices for using forest resources sustainably, protecting biodiversity, and preventing deforestation. Early societies relied on forests for food and shelter, while industrialization led to more intensive logging. In response to environmental concerns, the 20th century saw the rise of conservation efforts and sustainable forestry practices. Today, forest management aims to balance economic, ecological, and social needs, ensuring that forests remain healthy and productive for future generations while supporting local communities.
