Where human intervention is necessary to the maintenance of a functioning forest ecosystem, this is known as sustainable forest management (SFM).In Europe, the concept of SFM was defined in 1993 at the pan-European Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE) as:

Natural sustainable ecosystems provide the biological basis of forest biodiversity, its functions, and growth cycles. When forest biodiversity is based on man's intervention, it is called sustainable forest management. EU forests are subject to national laws and international commitments to ensure their sustainability. Sustainable forest management is monitored and can be confirmed by certification processes.

Unsustainable management in many tropical countries has led to forest degradation and deforestation, and has contributed 17.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. The EU and its countries seek to address these impacts through the EU FLEGT Action Plan and the United Nations' Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD).
