Extracting timber
Description
Extracting timber involves the systematic removal of trees from forests or plantations for commercial, industrial, or local use. This strategy focuses on harvesting wood resources efficiently while minimizing environmental impact, soil erosion, and habitat loss. Essential actions include planning extraction routes, employing sustainable logging techniques, and reforesting harvested areas. The primary intent is to meet timber demand while ensuring forest regeneration, ecosystem stability, and compliance with legal and environmental standards.
