It is presented an overview of silviculture as a critical element for the sustainability and management of the forest, considering the definition of silviculture that supports the sustainable management of natural forest, the role of silviculture within the new paradigms for the sustainable use of natural forest, the limitations in research and silvicultural practice in tropical forests and the priority themes for achieving the sustainable management of natural forest. It was stablished that for the maintenance of the adaptive capacity of forests to various and unexpected disturbances without losing their ecological integrity, the forester needs biological and ecological knowledge that enables him to comprehend the forest as a whole. It is concluded that in order to obtain greater benefits from the ecosystem goods and services it is required to overcome the traditional silviculture approach. It is necessary to develop research leading to maximize the benefits of local communities from the combined use of timber and non-timber products, without neglecting their role to ensure the ecological integrity of the ecosystem intervening.
