Funny Things To Write In The Wedding Book
Velaquez Ramiro Gomez
In 1980 Antioquia was 1'891 .000 hectares of dense forest, almost pure. Twenty years later, there were only 383,000.
work data prepared by the National University researcher Sergio Alonso Orrego are conclusive: the rate of deforestation reached 75,000 hectares year, a figure similar to that described in a separate study by Mauricio Alviar, University of Antioquia.
alarmed to finish and take the head of that coverage, 198,285 hectares were converted into pastures, becoming the primary source of greenhouse gas control that benefits all humans, in cattle feed. And it's just what happened from dense forest to pasture.
Today, 38 percent of Antioquia is pure grass. Another 20 percent are residues of different size, knock down derelict land after the forest. In two regions is more concentrated natural forest: towards Ituango Paramillo and sectors and to limits URABA Urrao and Chocó.
El Bajo Cauca was the other big area with forest cover in 1980. That there are only isolated areas in the middle of pastures.
This is the greatest contribution Antioquia planetary damage.
