Devastation of Amazon Part 2
Indiscriminate Forestry:
Deforestation of Forests. The Forestry as an extractive activity must involve sustainable management measures for extraction planning. However, companies often prefer to have short term revenues by destroying the reserves in the land under contract with the government and/or exploiting from protected lands. In Perú exists related regulatory and a National organism for controlling; however the illegal wood is hard to control completely, as the extensions of lands are not an easy thing to handle for the government. This fact leads to a wide extension of Forest to be destroyed threatening ecosystems and species.

To map the illegal wood exploitation I took data of the Regulatory Organism in Perú:
Total Volume from illegal wood extraction per Region
We can see from the graphic that three regions present more illegal wood extraction: Loreto, Ucayali and Madre De Dios.
Total Volume (cubic meters) from illegal wood extraction per type of contract 
The last chart shows us Volume in millions of cubic meters of wood illegally taken from different kinds of legal contracts for extraction lands. It is shown that in every contract we find a high rate of deviation. So does legality and Regulation avoid illegal extractions and deforestation? Of course not, this shows it is all the opposite.
Planning and respecting the environment while developing it is crucial to sustainability for any kind of activity.
