timber resources

Timber resources refer to forests’ trees that are harvested for various uses, such as construction, paper, and furniture. These natural resources provide renewable material when managed sustainably, meaning trees are replanted or regrown after harvesting. Proper management ensures forests remain healthy, biodiversity is preserved, and ecological balance is maintained. Overharvesting or illegal logging can lead to deforestation, loss of habitat, and climate change impacts. Sustainable timber use involves responsible forestry practices that balance economic benefits with environmental protection, ensuring timber remains available for future generations while supporting ecosystems and local communities.
