Environmental impacts and the ecosystem-based approach to pinus patula plantations

Abstract

I thought that any afforestation or reforestation was sustainable; However, going to the mountains to taste manjar blanco, eat trout or plant pine trees can constitute good experiential tourism, but it is not good ecological tourism, since the underlying practices for obtaining these products require the insertion of exotic species. in an ecosystem with which they did not co-evolve, they damage and disturb its balance. (Laflamme, 2018). Precisely, the objective of this article was to analyze the environmental impact and promote the ecosystem approach of Pinus patula plantations, since it is mostly afforested and reforested for purely commercial-economic purposes combined with certain political purposes, and on a lesser scale for social purposes, and with minimal importance or without taking into account environmental-ecological purposes; before which there is a need to seek a sustainable balance of these purposes. It also seeks to help make decisions with a more sustainable ecosystem approach.
