About this person
Hans Carl von Carlowitz or Hannß Carl von Carlowitz, was a Saxon tax accountant and mining administrator. His book Sylvicultura oeconomica, oder haußwirthliche Nachricht und Naturmäßige Anweisung zur wilden Baum-Zucht (1713) was the first comprehensive treatise about forestry. He approached forestry from the fears of a shortage of wood needed for the mining industry. He coined the term Nachhaltigkeit, now translated as "sustainable" while referring to the use of forests and is considered to be the father of sustainable yield forestry.
