Natural Resources Management

The Natural Resources Management is very complex due to involve too many aspects such as: politics, regulations, contingency, currently, amongst others. And everyone has relation with big areas of knowledge. Amongst these we found: forest, water, air, minerals, wildlife, etc. In our case, the interest is put in the Forest.


The Forest is very important because contain too much of the concepts mentioned. For example; Chile has inside of your politics the management of: Native Forest, Plantations, wild areas, arid zones, amongst others. For this purpose, there are institutions concerned. The principal is CONAF, but there are others such as: CONAMA, MOP, SNASPE, etc.

Actually in Chile, the projects for to management the natural resources are very slow due to the country don’t have too much ecological conscience, specially the government and the private company. Then, the terms about health, delinquency, etc are faster of to process.

In the matters about air, soil, water there’re an Environmental Impact Assessment, carry out for CONAMA. Here, exist a system de assessment called SEIA and the same corporation. In the next months, all will be managed for a new ministry of environment.

In others countries the deal to environment is more correct due to their history and develop. An example could be Brazil, in which the management of tropic forest is great due to their enormous ecological conscience and high productivity.

In Chile, for to change the negative aspects, I would develop politics faster and I would involve to the citizenship in the care of natural resources due to is of everyone.
