What are the Environmental Challenges in Forestry?
Forestry businesses face several environmental challenges that can impact their operations:
Deforestation: Large-scale clearing of forests for agriculture, urban development, and other purposes reduces forest cover and disrupts ecosystems. Climate Change: Alters forest growth patterns and increases the frequency of natural disasters like wildfires and pests, affecting forest health and productivity. Biodiversity Loss: Monoculture plantations and unsustainable logging practices can lead to a decline in species diversity, affecting ecosystem services.
