Forest Products for Biodiversity

Forest Products for Biodiversity

Forests are rich in biodiversity, providing habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species. Forest products, such as timber, non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and ecosystem services, play a crucial role in maintaining this biodiversity. Timber harvested sustainably can help prevent deforestation and habitat destruction, while NTFPs can provide a source of income for local communities without harming the ecosystem. Ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and water purification, are essential for the health of forests and the species that rely on them.
