1 Deforestation & Sustainability

2 Forest Value Ecological Economic Recreation Oxygen via photosynthesis
Habitat Biodiversity Economic Timber Goods (paper, nuts, toxol, carnauba wax, etc.) Recreation Hiking Camping Oxygen via photosynthesis

3 Deforestation

4 Deforestation Clearing (cutting down) a forest Why? Drawbacks
Clear-cutting—cutting down all trees Slash & burn—cut down trees & burn stumps Why? Unhealthy stand (group of trees) Timber Goods Land for agriculture, homes, roads, etc. Drawbacks Loss of biodiversity (increase chances of extinction) Loss of habitat Loss of potential new goods Takes decades to regenerate (regrow)

5 Sustainable Forest Management
Focuses on the immediate, short-term, and long-term survival of the forest while still using the resource Uses different methods of harvesting based on the current condition of the forest and future goals Considers environmental, economic, and recreational value

6 Methods of Harvesting Whiteboard
