Forest Management refers to the process of managing and maintaining forest resources to meet specific ecological, economic, social, and cultural objectives. It involves the planning, implementation, and monitoring of practices aimed at promoting sustainable forestry that balances the needs of the environment with those of human use. This can include activities such as reforestation, controlled logging, pest management, habitat conservation, and wildfire prevention.
