The Letterewe Estate in Scotland is known as a living laboratory for sustainable forest management practices. The estate serves as a model for integrating conservation efforts with sustainable forest management to ensure the long-term health of the forest ecosystem. Through careful planning and execution, the Letterewe Estate demonstrates effective strategies for balancing economic needs with environmental stewardship.

As far as I know both Guyana and Suriname practice sustainable development of their rain forests....more than 90% of both countries remain untouched.
Forests can provide a sustainable yield by planting a tree to replace one that was cut down

Sustainability is a concern at the problems arising from the impact we have on the world has grown during recent decades. Basically, the word sustainability means how long you can keep doing what you are doing without coming to an end. Clearcutting forests without replanting is not sustainable--sooner or later you run out of forest. Using oil for fuel is not sustainable--eventually there will be no more oil. Farming practices which parch the soil and drain it of nutrients are not sustainable--they will turn the soil into desert. Sustainable practices include using solar and wind power which is not going to run out in billions of years, and which is not diminished by use, or crop rotations which keep the soil fertile, or replanting forests as they are used to ensure that there will be forests in the future.
Because of traditional farming practices but mostly oil development has played the biggest role in the clearing of forests.
Human beings clear forests for several reasons, including agriculture, logging for timber, urbanization, and infrastructure development. These activities often benefit human livelihoods and economic growth, but they can have detrimental effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Sustainable management practices and conservation efforts are necessary to balance human needs and the protection of forests.

Sustainable development strategies for managing forests include the maintenance of forests by harvesting trees in a way that promotes regeneration and getting the most out of the resources collected. strategies include protecting old growth forests and planting fast growing trees that are not dependent on large quantities of nutrients to survive. The protection of green belts for wildlife also prevent erosion. The widening of fire trails and regular burn offs also promote and protect the growth of the forests. Its about getting a happy medium between the harvesting for profit and ensuring sustainability.
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.

Wetlands, forests, water, animals, and sunlight are some of the many factors that make a system sustainable.
