What is unsustainable land management?
“Unsustainable” means that whatever someone is doing on the land – farming, mining, cutting timber – is being done in such a way that the land is being degraded faster than it can recover. For example, poor farming practices can degrade or erode the soil away to a point where nothing can be grown on the land anymore; this is unsustainable land management. Conversely, “sustainable land management” refers to a way of using the land that can be done forever.
