Forests, vital for habitats, spiritual connection, and resources, have suffered from deforestation due to agricultural and economic expansion. Since 1990, deforestation has significantly impacted global forests, with an estimated loss of 420 million ha and primary forests declining by over 80 million ha. Though agriculture and forestry occupy similar land areas, forestry receives considerably less focus on research, resources and manpower. New concepts like agroforestry, social forestry, permaculture and syntropic farming are emerging to address these challenges and promote sustainable land management practices.
