Topic: Economics Aspects of Obtaining Sustainable yield

Sustained yield management provides economic benefits for all citizens:

funding for vital community services, thousands of family-wage jobs and the
ability to maintain necessary industrial infrastructure. Sustainable forest
management contributes to livelihoods, income generation and employment.
The households rely on for their subsistence, such as firewood, fodder for
livestock and timber for housing. Forests provide a wide range of economic
and social benefits to humankind. These include contributions to the overall
economy – for example through employment, processing and trade of forest
products and energy – and investments in the forest sector. Trees have great
economic significance to humans as a source of food, building materials, and
paper. Many trees are also useful for the wood they produce.
They generate economic value of trees; They generate economic / business
activity; They provide wood for trade/generate revenue; They are major source
of non-wood forest products; They provide several goods which serve as raw
materials for many industries; Forests provide wood, timber, raw materials,
vegetables, and fruits, which have significant economic value. The timber is
used in construction and making furniture. Wood is also essential in the
production of paper. The rubber extracted from trees is used to make several
products.
For industrial use, forests provide many raw materials for the industries such as
wood pulp which are used in the production of paper. By printing on paper we
can produce newspapers, magazines and books which help us with an essential
means of communication as well as in education system as learning and
teaching materials.
Provide building material, through lumbering such as timber, poles and logs
which are the keys forest material which are essential for building houses and
settlement, timber items is made up of wood and touch our lives in more ways
than we can imagine.
Sources of fuels energy, such as such as firewood and charcoal which come
from trees; provide energy, which are very essential to people mostly
developing countries, especially in Africa, some parts of Asia and Latin
America.
Source of employment, about 10 million people are employed in forestry or in
forest conservation and management activities mainly in Asia & Africa. This
increase the living standard of the people.

Increase of national income; due to export of timber or forest product to

different countries around the globe hence the country increase its source of
income which enable to run the activities and economic development project.

Development of tourism sector; forest used as recreational agents because

different types of species and wild animal are found within it. This species act
as attraction to tourist to visit and view it.

Forestry impacts other economic sectors. The mangrove forests, for example,
provide most important but unquantifiable benefits, which include protection
of the coast from wind and sea currents, protection of coastal villages against
the tidal action, cyclones, and erosion. They support the breeding of prawns
and fish and act as a natural barrier against ecological and climatic disasters to
safeguard the life, land, and property of coastal people. Conservation of
biodiversity, recreation, ecotourism and camouflaging naval infrastructure are
other services being provided by these forests.
The agricultural and industrial economy of Pakistan entirely depends on the
sustained supply of water from its reservoirs, rivers and also on the efficient
functioning of an extensive canal system. About 21 percent of the area of
Pakistan, comprising mostly arid and semi-arid zones, is under irrigated
agriculture. When the water level recedes in reservoirs, running of mills, tube
wells and other machines is hampered, due to a frequent breakdown in the
power supply. Water yield is not properly regulated from areas devoid of
vegetation, resulting in flash floods followed by drought.
