Discussion on Issues faced by Forestry's Sustainable Development and Its Legal Measures in China

摘要

Forestry is the main body of ecological construction, as well as one basic industry and commonweal career for the sustainable development of economic society. The importance of forest resources and forestry requires us to deepen the conception of sustainable development into various aspects of forestry construction. This article is divided into three sections. In the first section, the definitions of Forestry, Sustainable Development and Sustainable Forestry are respectively described. In the second section, the current situation of China's forestry and the problems related to its sustainable development are presented. The author makes an analysis from following four aspects: 1. Recoverable resources in the forestry are shrinking and forest resources have been seriously destroyed, deadly threatening the ecological balance; 2: The current forest management is extensive, and the research on forestry technologies lags behind; 3: People are lack of awareness in the sustainable development of forestry, so there is no sufficient public participation in this issue; and, 4: The forestry management is complex and relevant regulations need to be further improved. In the third section, legal measures to achieve the sustainable development of forestry are proposed. The author suggests preparing and improving China's forestry laws with international conventions and agreements as the reference; strengthening the research on basic theories to build a scientific and rational overall theoretical framework; and taking the sustainable development of forestry as the guide to improve various forestry laws and regulations so that the current situation of China's forestry is greatly improved.
