最大限度地减少伐木和其他造林处理对环境的有害影响是木材生产管理热带森林的主要保护目标。虽然尽量减少不必要的损害总是对环境有利，但不应阻止在热带森林中进行更集约的造林，因为在热带森林中，具有商业价值的木材树种的再生和生长需要进行此类处理。无法再生商业物种可能会使森林更容易转为其他更有利可图的土地用途。提高造林强度还可以减少用于木材开采的森林总面积，从而减少过度狩猎、木材盗窃、野火、殖民化和转变的影响，而伐木区的可及性增加则促进了这些影响。
Minimizing the deleterious environmental impacts of logging and other silvicultural treatments is the primary conservation goal in tropical forests managed for timber production. While it is always environmentally beneficial to minimize unnecessary damage, more intensive silviculture should not be discouraged in tropical forests in which regeneration and growth of commercially valuable timber species requires such treatments. Failing to regenerate commercial species may render forests more susceptible to conversion to other, more lucrative land uses. Increasing the intensity of silviculture may also decrease the total area of forest exploited for timber, thereby reducing the impacts of over-hunting, timber theft, wildfires, colonization, and conversion, which are facilitated by the increased accessibility of logged areas.
