SFM (Sustainable Forest Management)

Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) is a way of caring for forests so they remain healthy, productive, and diverse over the long term. It involves balancing the need for timber and other forest products with protecting ecosystems, wildlife, and local communities. SFM ensures that forest resources are harvested responsibly, preventing overlogging, erosion, and habitat loss. Practices include monitoring forest health, planting new trees, and maintaining biodiversity. The goal is to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to enjoy and benefit from forests.
