Solution

1.Ans...Canadian approaches to forest management sustainable and ecosystem based forest management is a recent policy innovation and there are few examples of large-scale applications of this approach.Environmental groups portray an image of large clearcuts,low rates of planting harvesting of old growth forest and single use forestry.Canada is richly endowed with naturally established forests.

2.Ans...The US Forest Service favors an anthropocentric approach in which an array of public preferences will determine the extent to which utilitarian commodities,recreation etc..,natural biodiversity values will be emphasized in defining and sustaining ecosystem integrity.

The US Forest Service has been the most prominent promoter and developer of this federal initiative,the capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbances without undergoing fundamental change,ecosystem processes are too complex and the number of species is too large to assess ecological integrity directly.
