RE: Deforestation and the future of human heritage

I believe that, unfortunately, deforestation is a common topic in almost all countries (and maybe mainly in third world countries, as is my case here in Brazil). The region where I live in particular is very rich in wood and has some good laws protecting the finest woods, but it is not uncommon to see large deforestation consuming native forests for the cultivation of grains around here. And more strikingly, we have the Amazon as an example, which has been deforested daily, year after year... I don't see any problem in using natural resources such as wood for their own constructions, but unfortunately our social economic industrial system consumes much more and in an absurd way, than if it were something private, where each one takes what they need. And the same can be said of the food
The woods are there for our use actually. However, we need to be prudent in their uses and plant as much as, if not more, we remove for usage. With that, we can be sure of the future.
