Are forests a renewable resource? are they ordinarily used in a renewable way? how can forests be used more sustainably?

Trees are renewable because they can be replenished in a reasonable time frame. It takes too long to 'produce' fossil fuels, so they're not renewable. Thing is, the way we're using trees in most parts of the world is not sustainable. Forests are NOT renewable when they're clearcut or severely reduced. Forests are an ecosystem. When it collapses, species go extinct and don't come back. While we can plant more trees, we can't restore the land to the way it was. Sustainable forestry practices result in a consistent ecosystem which keeps the forest/trees renewable.

enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may advance international preparedness for protecting the earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal.
