Sec. 219.19  Ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

    Sustainability, composed of interdependent ecological, social, and 
economic elements, embodies the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 
(16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.) without impairment to the productivity of the 
land and is the overall goal of management of the National Forest 
System. The first priority for stewardship of the national forests and 
grasslands is to maintain or restore ecological sustainability to 
provide a sustainable flow of uses, values, products, and services from 
these lands.
