Forest Degradation are changes within a forest which negatively affect the structure or function of the forest area, and thereby lower the natural capacity of the forest to supply products or services. It is measured by monitoring changes in forest carbon stock.
Sustainable forest management is the management of forest areas to maintain and enhance the economic social and environmental value of all types of forests, for the benefit of present and future generations.
