    Los bosques de la Provincia de Formosa sufren un proceso de degradación acelerada. La ganadería extensiva y la extracción de madera sin planificación ni manejo son las causas fundamentales de esta degradación. El escaso valor del bosque en pie determina que los usuarios del recurso prioricen estas actividades frente a un uso sustentable del mismo, el cual sólo será competitivo a través de su valorización. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar a través del cambio en productividad, un modelo de producción forestal sustentable.

    Globally, according to FRA 2000, planted forests account ed for only 5% of forest area, but up to 35% of industrial roundwood supply. This is anticipated to rise to 40-44% by 2020. Planted forests reflect a higher social, environmental and economic importance than their area would suggest. Many countries have existing planted forest data that is not based upon forest inventory, is incomplete and often outdated. Thus it is difficult to measure and plan the quantity and quality of planted forest resources and the provision of goods and services that they supply.

La explotación ilegal y el comercio asociado constituyen un problema complejo con graves consecuencias ambientales, sociales y económicas. Diferentes instancias locales, nacionales e internacionales han adoptado medidas para resolver este problema.
