Abstract: Forestry is a major industry in environmental reproduction. The key of sustainable forestry development lies in regulating and adjusting the management behaviors of forest manager and department. By means of managing forest ecosystem effectively, sustainable forest management emphasizes that forest ecosystem provides varied material products and environment services for social and economical development. The facts that forestry confronts in China include: enormous population pressure, transform of economical system, unsoundness of forestry policy systems in effect, as well as the relative inadequate land resources, the total quantity of water resources in China is not enough, and the critical situation of ecological environment. There is practical variance in objective orientation of forestry development the government must strike up appropriate harmonious mechanism based on ensuring legal authority of forest managers, forest department and all citizenry and to realize the coordination of society, economy and environment objectives of sustainable forestry development. Forestry department must join society and ecological environment objectives into economy objectives to avoid or decrease the appearance of external diseconomy. To the sustainable forestry development, the essential task is to set up the ecologically rational, socially and economically feasible operating system in management. It has four specific tasks. Firstly, determining what natural basis for agricultural management is needed in the process of sustainable forestry development; Secondly, combining the above social demands with natural basis, to determine the social, economic and ecological environment objective, and the forest objective in the sustainable forestry development which can guarantee the realization of the three objectives; Thirdly, to determine the means of realizing the objective of sustainable forestry development, including the strategy, the special means, the technological system of the sustainable forestry development and its operating system; Fourth, to improve the guarantee system of sustainable forestry development, including the system of macro regulation and control by the government, the system of public participation, management system, the system of rational disposition of interests based on the property right system and the system of the scientific research and education in forestry. In China, the natural resourecs structure, geographical characters and the present situation of social and economic development appear conspicuous regional division rules. So the difference of needs for forest products and forest ecosystem environment function, as well as the difference of forestry development load are existed in social and economic development process for different regional or different periods in the same regional. Therefore, regionalisation has a very important significance in practices of sustainable forestry development.
