description The sustainable forest management in the twenty-first century is a principle that ensures the production of several goods and services from forest ecosystems in a permanent and optimal manner, maintaining always the values of such ecosystems; it is a strategy for natural resources management, in which forestry activities are considered in the ecological, economic and social context, within a defined area or region, in a short and long term. The challenge of sustainable forest management is the stewardship and use of the forests and forest lands in a manner and with an intensity that they preserve their biological diversity, its productivity, its capacity for regeneration, its vitality and ability to achieve, in the present and in the future, the ecological, economic and social functions relevant to local, national and global level, without causing damage to other ecosystems. This paper reviews the evolution of the forest management concept and the new paradigms for its implementation, highlighting their features such as administrative process, its relations with the provision of environmental services, the role of the certification for the development of good forest management, the importance of the decision-making process, the challenges of sustainable forest management, and the research needed for its implementation with scientific bases. It also emphasizes the need to train human resources, creating and improving capabilities for the planning, execution and monitoring of forest management.

El manejo forestal sustentable en el siglo XXI es un principio que asegura la producción de diversos bienes y servicios a partir de los ecosistemas forestales de una manera perpetua y óptima, conservando siempre los valores de tales ecosistemas; es una estrategia de manejo de recursos naturales, en la cual las actividades forestales son consideradas en el contexto de las interacciones ecológicas, económicas y sociales, dentro de un área o región definida, a corto y largo plazo. El reto del manejo forestal sustentable es la gestión y utilización de los bosques y de los terrenos forestales de una manera y con una intensidad tales que conserven su diversidad biológica, su productividad, su capacidad de regeneración, su vitalidad y su capacidad de cumplir, en el presente y en el futuro, las funciones ecológicas, económicas y sociales pertinentes, a escala local, nacional y mundial, sin dañar otros ecosistemas. En este trabajo se revisa la evolución del concepto de manejo forestal y los nuevos paradigmas de su aplicación, destacando sus características como proceso administrativo, sus relaciones con la provisión de servicios ambientales, el papel de la certificación para el desarrollo del buen manejo forestal, la importancia del proceso de toma de decisiones, los retos del manejo forestal sustentable y la investigación necesaria para su ejecución con bases científicas. Se enfatiza asimismo la necesidad de formar recursos humanos, creando y mejorando capacidades para la planeación, ejecución y monitoreo del manejo forestal.
