When the person escapes to the forest is to explore and internalize what are its purposes and goals to follow. Ian mentions that explore would be a more prominent idea than it is currently.

No doubt about it, traveling on your lonesome is an incredibly mixed bag. On the one hand, you have so much more freedom to go where you want without having to consult anyone else, plus it's good character-building to rely on your own wits. Conversely, there are often euphoric and hilarious moments on the road for which you simply wish there was someone else to experience by your side. As famous solo traveler Christopher McCandless wrote in his diary (as depicted in the fantastic 2007 film Into The Wild): Happiness only real when shared. Nevertheless, wistful daydreaming never got anyone anywhere, and luckily there are countless ways to meet kindred spirits, or even someone far more special.

This is applied to procedures such as the decision making, planning and evaluation of forest management (Natural Resources Canada, 2015). The ecosystem-based approach is a perspective process that considers the interactions of various factors, including humans, and their effects on an ecosystem (Convention on Biological Diversity, n.d). Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) has been noted as being a flexible approach to managing the coexistence of human activities and a functioning ecosystem so that they may be mutually beneficial (Ecotrust, n.d). This means that human activities must not be in excess of what the ecosystem can produce, and not damage the ecosystem in terms of its diversity and functions (Ecotrust, n.d). The purpose of this scientific approach is to ensure the ecosystem, in this case forests, maintain their social, environmental and economic benefits (Ecotrust, n.d).
