Forestry
Forests have traditionally been an important source of many different types of products and resources.
• Resins are substances secreted by certain plants, for example, conifers. They are used in the cosmetics and chemical industries.
• Rubber is extracted from the sap of certain tropical trees. It is used to manufacture tyres and other products.
• Cork is obtained from the bark of cork oak trees and it is used tomanufacture corks for bottles of wine, and has many other uses, for example, in insulation.
• Wood is used for construction and furniture manufacture. It is also used
as a raw material for making paper and as an energy source.
Forestry is the practice of rationally exploiting forests using modern agrarian techniques to obtain forest resources sustainably through reforestation.
However, overexploitation of forest resources, clearing forests for farming
and forest fires are causing worldwide deforestation.
