Service Description:
Forest Management
Managed forests are renewable resources, and many bird species depend on them as primary places where they feed and nest. Sustainable forest management can create the habitat conditions that many birds need, but when best practices appropriate for local forest conditions are not followed, there can be negative impacts for birds. By working with foresters, land stewards, and managers, we can identify ways that forest management can meet the needs of birds and people.

Data Source(s)
  • Curtis PG, Slay CM, Harris NL, Tyukavina A, Hansen MC. 2018. Classifying drivers of global forest loss. Science 361:1108–1111.
Processing
We mapped the current footprint of forest management as a binary surface by identifying 3-km cells where forestry and logging activities have caused forest loss based on a dataset that classified drivers of global forest loss (Curtis et al. 2018). This analysis defined forestry as “large-scale operations occurring within managed forests and tree plantations with evidence of forest regrowth in subsequent years.” Urban and suburban areas were removed.

Most Relevant IUCN - CMP Unified Direct Threat Classification
2.2.1. Non-native tree plantations
2.2.2. Native tree plantations
5.3.1. Logging
7.3.1. Forest management
