Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the evolution of the relation between man and environment in the Transylvanian Plain in the 18th-19th centuries, reaching the conclusion that the productive activities or other practices of the human collectivities, had degrading consequences in nature: the destruction of the woods, the land slides, mainly the arid surfaces lacking vegetation. The specialists, the authorities and even the human collectivities have gradually realized the destructive consequences of the above mentioned practices. They tried to diminish, to counteract and recover the ecological damages, taking protective measures for the woods and increasing the afforested lands. Nevertheless, these measures proved to be insufficient, so that the problem of solving the ecological damages through a-forestation remains still actual.
