5.2.2 Sustainable Forestry

• What is the primary goal of sustainable forestry?

  Meet present and future needs
• Non-sustainable forestry prioritizes short-term timber production over environmental impacts.


  True
• Match the sustainable forestry practice with its description:

  Sustained yield ↔️ Harvesting timber at a maintainable rate

  Biodiversity conservation ↔️ Protecting forest ecosystems

  Multiple use ↔️ Using forests for various purposes
• What does the principle of biodiversity conservation in sustainable forestry aim to protect?

  Forest ecosystems and wildlife
• Order the key practices for sustainable forestry from general to specific:

  1️⃣ Sustained yield

  2️⃣ Biodiversity conservation

  3️⃣ Multiple use
• Unsustainable harvesting in non-sustainable forestry depletes forest resources faster than they can be replenished
• What is one of the primary benefits of biodiversity conservation in sustainable forestry?

  Protecting forest ecosystems
• What is the primary focus of non-sustainable forestry practices?

  Maximizing short-term timber production
• Arrange the principles of sustainable forestry in a logical order based on their impact on forest management.

  1️⃣ Sustained yield

  2️⃣ Biodiversity conservation

  3️⃣ Multiple use
• What does the principle of sustained yield ensure in sustainable forestry?

  Indefinite timber harvesting
• What is the main outcome of single-purpose exploitation in non-sustainable forestry?

  Ignoring forest functions
• What is the primary consequence of single-purpose exploitation in non-sustainable forestry?

  Ignoring other forest functions
• Sustained yield in sustainable forestry ensures a continuous supply of wood products
• Arrange the benefits of sustainable forestry in order of their importance.

  1️⃣ Sustained yield

  2️⃣ Biodiversity conservation

  3️⃣ Multiple use
• Implementing sustainable forestry practices often involves higher upfront costs
• Non-sustainable forestry focuses solely on maximizing immediate timber profits
• Why is monitoring and enforcement necessary in sustainable forestry?

  To ensure compliance with practices
• What is the principle of sustained yield in sustainable forestry?

  Harvesting timber indefinitely
• What does biodiversity conservation aim to protect in sustainable forestry?

  Forest ecosystems and wildlife
• Order the key practices of sustainable forestry

  1️⃣ Sustained yield

  2️⃣ Biodiversity conservation

  3️⃣ Multiple use
• Biodiversity conservation in sustainable forestry focuses on protecting forest ecosystems
• What is a key outcome of unsustainable harvesting in non-sustainable forestry?

  Depletion of forest resources
• How does sustained yield benefit future generations?

  Ensures continuous wood supply
• The key benefits of sustainable forestry include sustained yield, biodiversity conservation, and multiple use
• What is the purpose of biodiversity conservation in sustainable forestry?

  Protect forest ecosystems
• Non-sustainable forestry can lead to habitat destruction.

  True
• Match the challenge with its associated forestry practice:

  Short-term Profits ↔️ Requires balancing sustainability with economic gains

  Upfront Costs ↔️ Higher costs for reforestation

  Stakeholder Alignment ↔️ Demands cooperation among diverse groups
• The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is a certification program focused on North American forestry practices.


  True
• The EU Timber Regulation prohibits the import of illegally harvested timber
• Sustainable forestry involves harvesting timber at a rate that can be maintained indefinitely
• What is a key difference between sustainable and non-sustainable forestry practices?

  Sustained yield vs. unsustainable harvesting
• The key principles of sustainable forestry include sustained yield, biodiversity conservation, and multiple use
• Habitat destruction is a consequence of non-sustainable forestry practices.


  True
• What is the goal of sustained yield in sustainable forestry?

  Maintain timber supply indefinitely
• Match the non-sustainable forestry practice with its consequence:

  Unsustainable harvesting ↔️ Depleted forest resources

  Habitat destruction ↔️ Loss of forest ecosystems

  Single-purpose exploitation ↔️ Ignoring ecosystem services
• Non-sustainable forestry practices prioritize environmental conservation over timber production.

  False
• Sustainable forestry is the management of forests in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations
• Biodiversity conservation in sustainable forestry aims to protect forest ecosystems and the wildlife that depend on them.


  True
• Non-sustainable forestry practices often lead to the destruction of habitats
• Match the sustainable forestry principle with its description:

  Sustained yield ↔️ Harvesting at a maintainable rate

  Biodiversity conservation ↔️ Protecting ecosystems and wildlife

  Multiple use ↔️ Using forests for various purposes
