Summary/Abstract: WITHOUT THE EXISTENCE OF HEALTHY AND THICK FORESTS, LIFE CANNOT EXIST ON THE PLANET. BY NOW, 80% OF FORESTS ACROSS THE GLOBE HAVE BEEN DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. FORESTS HAVE, IN ADDITION TO THEIR ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE, AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN MAINTAINING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLIMATE. CLIMATE CHANGE AND INCONSISTENT CUTTING OF FORESTS, AND BY THIS WE MEAN THE REMOVAL OF FORESTS OR STANDS OF TREES, WHEN THE LAND ACQUIRES FUNCTIONS OTHER THAN THOSE OF FORESTRY, AMPLIFY THE EFFECTS OF A NATURAL DISASTER. THE EFFECTS OF UNCONTROLLED FOREST ENGINEERING CAN BE OBSERVED IN RISK AREAS, BOTH IN ROMANIA AND IN THE REST OF THE WORLD. AMONG THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTERS ARE LISTED: LANDSLIDES, FLOODS, BLIZZARDS DURING WINTERTIME.
