摘要

Forests provide a multitude of services and products that contribute to human well-being and ecological balance. Global demand for these resources is growing, which highlights the necessity of ensuring forest ecosystems’ long-term health by adopting sustainable practices. Experts such as ecologists, biologists, economists, and others have voiced concerns over the sustainability of forest resources and ecosystems virtually since the inception of contemporary studies on forest management. Nonetheless, this concern’s focal point has changed multiple times. The preservation of forest ecosystems in the face of various forms of human interference has been stressed by environmental experts. On the other side, forest managers and economists have highlighted how valuable it is for human societies to have continuous flows of products and services from forest systems. The chapter examines the latest research in forest bio-resources for sustainable use, including topics such as SFM, certification programs, non-timber forest products, and biodiversity conservation. Through an extensive analysis of recent literature, this review offers a comprehensive overview of key trend, challenges, and potential future directions in the sustainable use of forest bio-resources. The process of managing forests to satisfy society’s demands for forest resources that is, goods, services, and values while preserving their availability for future generations is known as sustainable forestry. Exports of forest products and services must generate more revenue than expenses in order for them to be economically viable, or sustainable; otherwise, subsidies would be needed. In order to maintain forests, foresters have evolved comprehensive strategies that take into account values that go beyond the boundaries of particular forest management units. These include biodiversity, resource-dependent communities, and potential relationships between forest management and climate change. In addition to basic revenue/cost accounting, economic evaluations for sustainable forestry should consider the people who live in forest communities and broad societal values.
