What is unsustainable logging?

Unsustainable logging refers to the practice of harvesting trees at a rate or in a manner that depletes forest resources and damages ecosystems. This includes clear-cutting or selective logging without adequate reforestation and management practices, leading to habitat loss, soil erosion, and decreased biodiversity. Such practices compromise the forest's ability to regenerate, disrupt local communities, and contribute to climate change by increasing carbon emissions. Ultimately, unsustainable logging threatens the long-term health of both forests and the environment.
