Chapter 4.5 of USAID's Biodiversity and Development Handbook is focused on the integration of biodiversity conservation work with the forestry sector. Chapter Four contains sections that are a primer on integration of biodiversity into key development sectors. Forestry is the science and practice of managing trees and forests to provide a diverse range of benefits. As an example of the sustainable use of biodiversity, the type of forestry that will be discussed here is the sustainable management, use, and conservation of natural forest ecosystems in order to maintain their health, flows of timber and non-timber forest products, and nonmaterial values and benefits, as well as the ecological services they provide.
