Yes, it is true that the forests are of rich resources, But it is not enough to satisfy human greed. When we started to explore these resources we never look back or think about the future. In such cases, the sustainability of a forest come to a question.

Definitely, forest resources are exploited due to economical reasons but their overexploitation gives birth to several serious environmental concerns including disturbance of biogeochemical cycles, atmospheric pollution, global warming, accelerated erosion and disruption of geological norm etc. For balanced environmental systems and balanced economies at least 25% to 35% area should be forest covered. But, unfortunately, most of the world's forest resources have been destroyed due to ruthless cutting of trees and overgrazing. Besides humans, forest fires and plant diseases have also destroyed lot of forest resources. Presently, only about 15% of the earth's land is covered with forests. The amount of forests vary markedly from country to county. Use of thousands of forest products including wood is essential part of human life. Forest activities can't be stopped. Therefore, sustained yield forestry measures are an essential need of the time.

I totally agree with you @ Saswatik Tripathy and Asad Ali Khan

Thanks, I feel pleasure to share views with scholars and researchers.

In the management of forest resources, we need to consider the benefit of non-human as well as human benefit. This is also an approach that will produce results for the benefit of the human when we think long term. For this we need to consider concepts such as effectiveness, synergisticness and equity.

Thanks Cihan Erdönmez for your valuable views.

One of the most important challenges for humanity in the 21st century is the protection of the Earth's biosphere and natural biodiversity. One of the natural ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity are tropical subtropical rainforests. The area of ​​these forests decreases year by year. In this way, planet Earth will become poorer in terms of biodiversity, including many unique species of flora and fauna that live in these forest formations. In addition, there are also significant forest resources in other climate zones that absorb CO2, i.e. one of the main greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, due to the type of soil and the specific microclimate created by the tropical forest, it is not possible to recreate a fully cut tropical forest without the use of huge inputs. Because the cut down forest is often not reconstructed, so the soil becomes barren and the area of ​​the former forest is steppe. Natural resources of living nature should be treated as one of the most important resources that should be protected and restored. Unfortunately, in many countries these resources are exploited on an industrial scale without being restored. Instead of their industrial exploitation, forest resources should be restored in such a way that their area grows quickly. This issue is particularly important because of the global warming process, which is progressing faster and faster. Effective pro-ecological, i.e. sustainable forest management should be based on the strategy of full reclamation of areas degraded by civilization, including restoration of natural forest ecosystems composed of many different ecologically compatible species of flora and fauna. Monocultural stand crops are most susceptible to pest attacks, to infections with viral, bacterial and fungal diseases. However, the most effective in terms of nature are forest ecosystems restored according to the formula of restoration of these ecosystems in such a way that they are as close as possible to the composition of flora and fauna species to their natural counterparts, i.e. natural forest ecosystems that in a given area and / or in a given zone climatic conditions occur in their original state or that have occurred in a specific area in the past before they were cut down during the development of civilization.

I believe that we should be concerned about the environmental system we live at in the first place!

Thanks Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak for your valuable views.

I also believe that although both economic and environmental concerns are very important, but if we compare the worth of both for life then environmental concerns seem more important that of economic concerns.

Exploitation of forest resources is to use the resources for economic growth with a negative effect resulting in environmental degradation. Such exploitation cause environmental damages including ecological disturbances, deforestation, green house effect etc. As human, we should be concerned about both the sides.

Thanks Munira Nasiruddin for your valuable response. To me sustained-yield forestry can be a solution.

I really understand all the views on this subject but.. Lets look at it from this perspective, forest is a resource and as such need to be explored at the same time overexploitation of it might result in negave effects on the environment.. Balancing the two.. Lets think about it.. If forest a renewable or not renewable? Then the bigger challenge of how we can smartly explore forest resources without harm.. A part which our government and policy makers needs to focus on

Of course, we have to take both viewpoints. What I have observed is that tribal populations or indigenous populations use forests in such a way that they can gather what is required without harming forest's natural state. So, more long time research on these traditional practices is required to know the pattern in which forests can be explored.

Thanks Asemoloye Micheal

I agree with your views. Sustained use of forest resources by the involvement of planners, policy makers, users and other stakeholders can be a reasonable solution.

Economical. But, if we take actions together like replanting trees or reinvesting on forestation, we can say Environmental.

Thanks Endashaw Workie for your short but meaningful answer.

Yes, restoring and protecting natural forest ecosystems is one of the most important factors in counteracting the adverse effects of climate change and protecting the planet Earth's biosphere. Reclamation of industrially degraded areas and changing these areas into green areas, forest areas is an important factor in counteracting unfavorable climate change and counteracting the ongoing global warming process. Restoration and protection of natural forest ecosystems is also an important element of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development, social environmental (ecological) responsibility, pro-ecological reforms of implementing eco-innovations in economic processes, etc. Therefore, restoration and protection of natural forest ecosystems is also an important element of the ecological transformation of the traditional brown economy to a sustainable green economy / circular economy.
