Uncontrolled harvesting in tropical forests is causing deforestation, but sustainable forest management can help conserve natural forests. Tropical silviculture needs to adapt to meet multiple objectives like logging and Non Timber Forest Products. Plantation forests are important for land restoration and wood production. Fast-growing plantations are expanding in tropical regions and can provide key ecosystem services. Selective logging practices in different parts of the tropics are being studied for sustainability. Plantations with native or exotic tree species can help with wood production and forest land restoration.
