The multi-functional role of forests is widely recognized nowadays. In addition to timber, fruits and seeds they provide a great number of services to the ecosystems. Among others, forests are the only “factory” in the world that produces the oxygen we inhale during all our lifetime. This is why many developed countries have based the development of this sector on the sustainable development. But in Albania the situation of the national forestry stock is not under normal conditions. This is due to the fact that for decades the forests have been cut down more than their natural growth, leading thus to the disruption of the natural balance due to the overuse/ overexploitation of forests. For years the issue of forest management has caused debate among sector experts and policymakers. The main discussions are related to the sustainable management of one of the most important natural resources in Albania- forests. The issue of sustainable management of forests becomes even more difficult in the context of climatic changes. This is due to the fact that the important and irreplaceable role of forests in this respect is already known. In the event of extreme occurrences of cold weather, given that wood reserves in Albania are limited and scarce, the population, businesses and the economy of the country will face serious difficulties. This is because in the rural areas that represent 43% of the country’s population [1], fire wood still remains the main source of energy. Firewood accounts about 36% of energy demands for heating and 12% of energy for cooking in the country [2]. The firewood represented 9.76% of the total energetic sources for the country [3]for the year 2010. Due to mismanagement, the forestry sector is presented not as an absorber but as an emitter of greenhouse gases. The issue of addressing the causes of this situation as well as the proposals for solution of problems should be a national priority. This paper aims at conducting an analysis of the situation of the forestry stock over the years, a projection of the progress of forest growth and demands for wood products as well as at giving the relevant proposals of what should be done in this respect.
