it is when you harvest a certain crop at a certain season and after the harvest you let the crop regenerate. For Example: I used to harvest pygeum bark as often as i could, which I sold at a high price. Now I only cut the bark every seven years as this allows the trees to regenerate.

International Paper's sustainable forest practices demonstrate that the planting, growing, and harvesting of trees and a healthy forest ecosystem can go hand in hand.
Forest harvesting is the process of cutting down trees for timber or other wood products. It can include clear-cutting (removing all trees in an area), selective cutting (removing specific trees), or sustainable harvesting (maintaining the health and productivity of the forest). Sustainable practices aim to balance economic benefits with environmental conservation to ensure the long-term health of the forest ecosystem.
Some sustainable practices for growing and harvesting nuts include using organic farming methods, conserving water through efficient irrigation systems, planting cover crops to improve soil health, and practicing integrated pest management to reduce the use of pesticides. Additionally, promoting biodiversity, supporting local communities, and ensuring fair labor practices are important aspects of sustainable nut production.

Harvesting a species faster than it can reproduce can lead to population declines, endangerment, and even extinction. This disrupts the ecological balance and can have cascading effects on other species and the environment. Implementing sustainable harvesting practices and regulations is essential to ensure the long-term survival of the species and the health of the ecosystem.

A forest can either be sustainable or non-sustainable. Non-sustainable forests are those that get harvested but not replenished for manufacturer or bio-mass purposes. Sustainable forests are carefully managed to ensure they are at least completely replenished and go on to reproduce there yield over and over. If harvest stops on a sustainable forest the resource is carbon neutral, except for logistics in harvesting and distribution of the asset.
Australia and Hawaii have begun sustainable sandalwood cultivation. India's native sandalwood is the standard bearer of sandalwood, but due to over harvesting, any sandalwood from India, is now immature and no longer considered the quality that it once was.
First Nations used a variety of harvesting methods including fishing with nets, spears, or traps, hunting with bows and arrows or traps, gathering berries and plants by hand, and cultivating crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They also practiced sustainable harvesting techniques to ensure the long-term health of the land and resources.
Sustainable seafood for example is ensuring the conservation of the wild habitat while still harvesting wild seafood. This includes not overfishing, using safe methods such as pole and troll, and avoiding bycatch. These tactics combines ensure we will have an ecosystem to fish from for generations, not decades.
No. Tribal people live with their surrounding as they rely on sustainable harvesting. It is outsiders who do not rely on the forest for their existence that see a profit above all else who destroy it.
