| Popis: |
Planning for forest sustainability has been a hallmark of US national resource management, beginning with the work of several visionaries of the previous century, including Gifford Pinchot and US presidents Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt. Their efforts created the US national forests in 1905 to address concerns about sustainable, long-term supplies of both water and timber. Congress subsequently passed the Multiple-Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960 to fulfill needs beyond water and timber resources. The National Forest Management Act of 1976 better assured sustainably by defining it as “the achievement and maintenance in perpetuity of a high-level annual or regular periodic output of the various renewable resources of the national forests without impairment of the productivity of the land.” |
