Foresty is an important aspect to be considered in planning the sustainable development of a country. Forests contribute to the livelihoods of more than 1.6 billion people.

Forest and the forest products industry are a source of economic growth and employment, with the value of global forest products traded internationally. It also helps to maintain the fertility of soil, protect watersheds, and reduce the risk of natural disasters, such as flood and landslides.
