Sustainable forest management (SFM) is the management of forests according to the principles of sustainable development. Sustainable forest management uses very wide social, economic and environmental goals. A range of forestry institutions now practice various forms of sustainable forest management and a wide range of methods and tools are available that have been tested over time and space.
The "Forest Principles" adopted at The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 captured the general international understanding of sustainable forest management at that time. A number of sets of criteria and indicators have since been developed to evaluate the achievement of SFM at both the country and management unit level. These were all attempts to codify and provide for independent assessment of the degree to which the broader objectives of sustainable forest management are being achieved in practice. In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Non-Legally Binding Instrument on All Types of Forests. The instrument was the first of its kind, and reflected the strong international commitment to promote implementation of sustainable forest management through a new approach that brings all stakeholders together.
The forest is a natural system that can supply different products and services. The working of this system is influenced by the natural environment: climate, topography, soil, etc., and also by human activity. The actions of man in forests constitute forest management. In developed societies, this management tends to be elaborated and planned in order to achieve the objectives that are considered desirable.
The United States needs forest management. Thirty-six percent of the U.S. is covered in forests - that's more than 800 million acres of essential natural resources. These forests provide us with 50% of America's drinking water, habitat for millions of ecologically critical species, and 2.4 million jobs. They also provide us with restorative time in nature and connect us with one another.
Each year, more than 26,000 state forestry agency employees work directly with forest landowners and managers to protect and conserve our nation's forests. They also collaborate with local governments, federal agencies, tribal nations, and other partners to protect our forests from wildfire, pests, and disease and to promote sustainable growth.
This is forest management. And it keeps forests working for ...

Forestry 101: Woodland Management Plans
The 6th part of Dr. Jacob Muller's monthly series Forestry 101 – A Virtual Primer of Forestry and Woodland Management.
For decades, European State Forest Management Organisations (members of EUSTAFOR) have managed their forests responsibly and sustainably, growing forests to produce wood, protect nature, provide green spaces for the citizens of Europe and help tackle climate change. But what exactly is Sustainable Forest Management? What are the main principles?

The Future of Forests with Dr. Jerry Franklin
RE Sources and Center for Responsible Forestry's short film featuring preeminent forest ecologist Jerry Franklin, who is widely recognized as the father of ecological forestry. The Future of Forests with Dr. Jerry Franklin explains what ecological forestry is, and how it can help restore forests to be more resilient to climate change impacts. Forest is literally Dr. Franklin's middle name (yes, really).
Ecological forestry offers an alternative approach to industrial logging. Ecological foresters wield chainsaws in innovative ways to restore forest complexity and biodiversity while producing a suite of benefits.

Liana Cutting for Climate in Belize Maya Forest
Science shows that—combined with cutting fossil-fuel use and accelerating renewable energy—natural climate solutions can help us avoid the worst impacts of climate change. But what does this research look like on the ground? Meet scientist Denver Cayetano, who is working with local community members in the Belize Maya Forest to collect data on liana cutting as a natural climate solution.
Infestations of lianas, or woody vines, limit tree growth in tropical and some temperate forests, and are increasing around the world. A recent study co-authored by Denver and scientists at The University of Florida, The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International and other partners looked at how selective liana cutting in managed forests can increase tree growth and carbon sequestration in forests glo...
