Millennium Energy Solution

Historically, there has been a rejection of the environmental movement of eucalyptus plantations in areas where trees were allochthonous, that is brought from other regions, non-native. This rejection was based primarily on planting a tree that did not belong to a particular ecosystem could harm, negatively affecting both fauna and other trees. Eucalyptus is imposed on other plant species because it grows fast and very high, and resource-land. In a few years, the landscape changes. But, friend, all consume paper. Even members of environmental groups. Even today, with new technologies.

But finally, ecologists have accepted that the eucalyptus will be part of the Spanish landscape, though in part not to your liking. You do not ask eucalyptus forests disappear. But if you set limits to its expansion. Greenpeace believes it would benefit the environment by limiting the eucalyptus trees in regions with humid climates of the Iberian Peninsula, a climate conducive to this kind of tree, and that, in general, are the Atlantic coast.

The head of Greenpeace Forests of Spain, Miguel Angel Soto has said that is as simple as limiting where and how many can be planted eucalyptus trees and remove them from the protected natural areas so they do not harm them. In short, nothing new, responsible management by the government.

Greenpeace presented a report which reviews the conflict caused by eucalyptus trees in the Iberian Peninsula for more than a century, when the first specimens were planted in the province of Lugo. The bottom line is this request to make this tree physical boundaries by law.

The pulp that gives the wood is already part of the production system, said Miguel Angel Soto, author of the report. Thus, while the continued use of paper, you should do is to reach an agreement between the public sector, private sector and environmental groups to agree on legislation that balances the interests of the bins with the needs of the environment. In the Principality of Asturias, without going further, it has limited its expansion.

The Ministry of Environment recognizes that eucalyptus acreage has increased in recent years, reaching a total area of ??760,000 hectares. The main peninsular plantations of this tree were made from the sixties to bring economic performance of its rapid development. Since then the number of hectares occupied Spain and Portugal has grown.
