Deforestation is a process generally caused by human action , which destroys the forest area.

It is directly caused by the action of man over nature , mainly due to logging or fires burning by the timber industry , as well as obtaining land for agriculture , mining and ranching .

The causes of deforestation are : 1. Unregulated logging to extract timber 2 . Generation of more land for agriculture and livestock. 3 . fire 4. Construction of more urban and rural spaces . 5 . Pests and diseases of trees.

The consequences of deforestation are : 1. Soil erosion and destabilization of the water table , which in turn causes flooding or drought. Two . Climate changes . Three . Reduced biodiversity of different species of plants and animals. April . Global warming of the earth : deforested forests can not remove excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

- A solution to deforestation , is prevention , which starts, as education plans , resulted in a forestry education program to raise awareness among young people that it is a natural resource that is being well handled much economic potential. - Keep forests and use them rationally , without destroying the most valuable species and letting them regenerate their own seeds. - To provide firewood and other forest products fast growing trees should be planted , which can be cut in a few years . - As a measure of restraint, various international agencies propose Reforestation as partially accepted by the environmental movement , to extend them in the stocking should be considered not only the elimination of carbon dioxide but also the biodiversity of the area to repopulate . - Develop products derived from wood raw material (paper, pencils ) or more added value ( furniture) . - Production of pure oxygen from the trees and the reabsorption of carbon dioxide for the same, which creates a kind of debt swap for highly industrialized countries that produce pollution , which is called the Kyoto Protocol . - Another way to solve this problem of deforestation would be to `plant a tree every time a tree is cut,this is the agroforestry system.

Think of your own project. You can organize your community , school or neighborhood It starts a conservation and restoration of biodiversity in the long term. It consists in restoring a burnt mountain through reforestation with native species, aimed at achieving a forest.

a) What problem will solve Sollve the loss of trees due to fires caused by people or by some natural event . b ) Place ( s ) where the project . The development of the project will be in rural areas , but anyway , as applicable in urban areas , where there is less scarcity of trees. c ) The materials and money needed

d ) Time This intervention is planted with a commitment to maintenance and intervention of at least 10 years

e) The people involved All persons with land somewhere, that has been damaged by a fire.

f ) Further information Trees and shrubs will be planted depending on the specific location, orientation and soil type . It is based on the typical species of the forests around.
