Sustainable harvesting

Sustainable harvesting refers to collecting natural resources—like timber, fish, or plants—in a way that does not deplete or permanently damage the environment. It involves extracting only what can be naturally replenished or regenerated, ensuring these resources remain available for future generations. This approach balances human needs with ecological health, often through practices such as setting limits, monitoring populations, and using eco-friendly methods. Overall, sustainable harvesting promotes responsible use that benefits both the environment and communities reliant on natural resources.
