Abstract

Sustainability is the main factor of all living forms. Sustainability of the resources of the macrocosm gives grandness to life and living. In this scenario of sustenance to fall back from the ancient past is the sustenance of the present, where a wide variety of innovative methods and techniques have been designed and formulated for the benefit of mankind. It’s a large platform of innovative visions to cater to the needs of man and livelihood. A large improvement in sustainable development has been done to protect life on earth. At the foremost instance, if life and living in Zambia is taken for a consideration, it is to be noted that there are rapid changes to growth and development in the nation. With rampant increase in population, the civic sensibilities have changed and there is increased visionary thinking by the government as well as non-governmental organizations that work towards a goal of sustainable innovative development. The depletion of natural resources has paved way for the rise of this concept for the well being of human mankind. This paper outlines some major components of sustainability and harps on sustainable development along with the concepts of sustainable forest management on Zambian context to a larger extend.
