forest conservation


Explanation:
Forestazione is a process whereby woodland is maintained at a constant fuel level. This is important to avoid fire hazards and soil erosion, that may affect other plantations. It does not mean that the forest is not exploited for timber, as forests often have to be felled in order to preserve their characteristics.
