New Law on forest conservation
Research professor and member of the Institute of Plant Biology Multidisciplinary (IMBIV) under the National University of Cordoba, said that the new Forest Act, formalized by the provincial government in the past week, is not consistent with stipulated by national law.
“The law that was passed betrays the spirit of the National Law called the Law Bonasso, which offers enrichment, restoration and conservation of native forest, and eventually sustainable forest use and environmental services that they provide to society “said the researcher.
He added: “What was passed in the province is rather the attempt to conserve forests through their rational exploitation. And I’m not demonizing farmers quite the contrary. The rational means to roll and selective clearing, or that tends to the true forest conservation. ”
Fitted ratified and that “the spirit of the law that was passed has nothing to do with Bonasso Act.”
It may be recalled that last Wednesday STRUT unveiled the reality of clearings in the southern province is more complicated than the average for the province. Is estimated to have lost more than 95 percent of native forest in the region, according to the data itself and Marcelo Zak Fitted relieved under Multidisciplinary Research Institute of Plant Biology (IMBIV).
Forest caldenes chañares and carob trees were part of the natural landscape rarely explored and inhabited by Ranqueles causally. Today, this “desert” demographic has become a desert geography.
The cord and its landscape has changed artificially by a green tide of soy can flood the land where once florProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age = 0 Ian forests and abundant natural watering holes or gaps.
Can not help but think that deforestation, mainly due to intensive agriculture is affecting the natural habitat and therefore the inhabitants of this area. Nor can stop thinking about development in this area other than through one of the main resources of this region as agriculture or livestock.
However, the use is not rational to the extent that the loss is irreparable, considering that natural forests and mainly caldenes (endemic species) are virtually impossible to recover the property of these trees in natural cycle.
Fitted As noted, the law regulated arrives at the wrong time and now does not meet the requirements necessary to protect what little remains. It is timeless and the spirit of it is not Bonasso Act aimed at the protection and conservation, both of which are conspicuous by their absence in the area.
Today often tend to be pillars of smoke towards the south-west of the Rock department in that smoke the souls of the past century-old trees are burned to “open field” to soy. They are the last that still survive as a stigma of the natural landscape that once reigned in these parts and now only appear as a poor reflection of an environmental nightmare.
