Study Notes
Definition of Sustainability
- Sustainability refers to meeting today's needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs.
- In forestry, sustainability involves replacing felled trees with new seedlings to ensure forests are maintained for the future.
Consequences of Non-Sustainable Wood Sources
- Deforestation leads to loss of trees and biodiversity.
- Destruction of natural habitats impacts animal populations and ecosystems.
- Non-sustainable practices contribute to global warming through increased carbon emissions.
Importance of Sustainable Forestry
- Sustainable forestry requires replanting or natural regeneration of trees to maintain forest health.
- Destruction of forest habitats results in:
- Increased soil erosion, leading to degraded land.
- Greater risks of flooding and landslides due to destabilized soil.
- Air pollution from burning trees post-felling.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
- FSC was established in 1993 to promote responsible forest management practices.
- The organization aims to ensure sustainable forest resources, supporting both human needs and wildlife habitats for future generations.
