Ecólogos noruegos proponen forestar el Sáhara
Una tecnología de plantar bosques con la ayuda de energía solar y agua marina permitirá crear zonas verdes en el desierto Sáhara.
Se instituyó la compañía Proyecto Forestal del Sáhara con el fin de crear zonas verdes en este desierto usando tecnologías de energía renovable y agua marina, se acaba de abrir el primer invernadero en Jordania y se espera vender en el futuro la tecnología de forestación a los países de África y Oriente Medio
El agua marina llega por tuberías al invernadero por acción de la gravedad y gracias a la energía solar se transforma en agua dulce permitiendo cultivar plantas y hortalizas, además se humedece el suelo adyacente al invernadero de modo que allí se puede plantar árboles.
Es importante encontrar un área situada por debajo del nivel del mar, para excluir la necesidad de bombear agua marina.

The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Missions | New illegal felling in the Piñalito Provincial Park in San Pedro reveals the silent expansion of deforestation in protected areas
The advance of deforestation on protected areas was once again evident this week in the Piñalito Sur Provincial Park, in San Pedro, where the Ministry of Ecology and Renewable Natural Resources confirmed a new case of selective illegal logging. The event occurs in a context of growing concern about the fragility of the environmental control system in rural and border areas, where the scarcity of resources, personnel and logistics limits the capacity of surveillance against criminal organizations organized to steal native woods and market them on the black market in connivance with sawmill owners.
