Document Summary
Forests and people (format: multiple choice and short answer questions + 10 point extra credit) How can sfm be defined with respect to biological diversity, timber harvesting, water resources, aquatic ecosystems, and local communities and economies. Sustainable forest management (sfm) is the management of forests according to the principles of sustainable development. Sustainable forest management uses very broad social, economic and environmental goals. Triad acknowledges the need to produce wood and looks to harmonize forest uses, functions, and values, which would avoid or minimize resource use conflicts. Reserve areas are where there is no harvesting. Extensive management areas are where there is multiple uses. Intensive management areas are where there is agroforestry, which is the raising of trees into farming. It depends on who is trying to raise the awareness. If it is someone of power like a political figure then i think it will take a shorter time than if some normal person is trying to spread the awareness.
