SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT• Sustainable Development refers to people taking resources from nature
with minimal disturbance to the environment. • Sustainable development provides people with resources needed today
without threatening resources need for the future.
Clear-Cutting
• Most common method for harvesting trees (93% of Canada’s forest area harvested is clear-cut).
• +’s – resembles natural disturbances like fire, wind, floods, and insects, allowing natural regeneration.
• -’s – leads to biodiversity loss.

At the end of 25 years start all over
Sustainable development thus means:
1. Resources can be used over and over.
2. Not just resources are preserved but so are people’s jobs.
Thus employment also has to do with sustainability.
Activity: Venn Diagram1. Read the pink EVIDENCE STATEMENTS (showing the
impacts of deforestation) and organize in the correct category of the venn diagram.
2. Identify which EVIDENCE is FOR (+) and AGAINST (-) deforestation.
3. Decide whether current deforestation practices are sustainable. Explain why or why not using the EVIDENCE STATEMENTS to support your answer.
– If sustainable: What EVIDENCE shows benefits to people, profit, and planet.
– If unsustainable: What EVIDENCE must be addressed to improve sustainability and reduce negative impacts to people, profit, and/or planet.
Homework
• Read the article, Will saving a B.C. forest save us money?
• Highlight all examples that demonstrate the value of forests (e.g. animal habitat).– Decide whether the points you highlighted
represent the forest’s market value or non-market value—it’s ‘natural capital’.
– Complete the chart at the end of the article.
