ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT. ESFM* is the guiding philosophy for forest conservation and management. This philosophy is based on the recognition that the forest holds many values in society and that these values include ecological as well as socio-economic factors. ESFM* is founded on a framework that sets out performance indicators reflecting these key values. These indicators, in turn, guide the work of forest conservation and management and must provide the basis for evaluating our progress. ESFM* is based on: • The establishment of a comprehensive, adequate and representative reserve system*. • The development of an internationally competitive forest products industry. • Integrated, complementary and adaptive forest conservation and management across tenures. Many of the existing NSW processes and regulations are designed to produce effective outcomes in terms of fauna, flora, soil and water conservation on public forests but issues need to managed across the landscape. The achievement of ESFM* on public and private land must be promoted. There will be ongoing review and subsequent implementation of its legislation, policy, plans, codes and prescriptions to ensure ESFM* objectives can be achieved in a more efficient regulatory environment. Proposed changes to the forest management system are outlined in Attachment 8.
