Book excerpt: "This guide will allow the reader to rapidly assimilate the main pieces of the concept of ecosystem management in boreal forests. Many enlightened readers will mean many citizens, many decision-makers and many foresters who together will allow a real ecosystem management approach to blossom in boreal forests. To begin, forest management is all the practices that humans undertake in the forest. Man changes the forests that he manages. But with or without humans, ecosystems change. Mother Nature makes sure of it! Forest ecosystem management is an approach that guides humans to manage forests in order to reproduce artifi cially the way forests naturally change. Humans hence manage forests by being inspired by Mother Nature."--Pref.
