Last Monday 18th September, the presentation took place at the Consello da Cultura Galega (Galicia, Spain) of the “Informe sobre o impacto dos cultivos forestais con especies de crecemento rápido no patrimonio natural e cultural de Galicia” elaborated by the Consello da Cultura Galega, for which a commission coordinated by Rebeca Blanco-Rotea (LAb2PT researcher) and integrated by specialists from different disciplines of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences was constituted: Paula Ballesteros Arias, Eduardo Corbelle Rico, Teresa Nieto Freire (technical coordination), Pablo Ramil Rego, Xosé Manuel Santos Solla and Xosé Ignacio Vilaseco Vázquez. The commission worked for two years and concluded that forest plantations with fast-growing species meant the transformation of the elements that make up the Galician landscape. “É urxente fomentar as medidas de restauración ambiental e restitucións de hábitats”. It confirms that forest management based on productivity is destroying the diversity and complexity that characterises the Galician landscape. It establishes that it is compulsory for forests to have management documents or to ensure greater cataloguing of assets are some of the measures it contemplates.
