How can forestry engineering make the world a better place?

Photography 1 "Forest plantations are not forests"

If we search the network for "disadvantages of the forest industry" we can find a problem that has been discussed for years, since forest plantations harbor less biodiversity than native forests, reduce the availability of water, increase the presence of exotic species, they frequently involve the use of herbicides, are subject to pest attack, promote erosion, increase sedimentation in water courses, store less carbon than native forests, and new precedents appear every day that harm climate change. Forest plantations are not forests.

As a forestry engineer, I would like to be in charge of research that allows better forest management in forests, ensuring the care and respect of native forests so that no forestry company ends them. I believe that with this vision I could help society to become aware of the importance of the forest for ecosystems.

I am sure that if a better management of forests around the world were proposed, that is, a more sustainable management, protecting it through laws and promoting environmental education in society, we could make a great positive change for these ecosystems.

The scars of COVID-19

Hi! Today is the day of the oceans and unfortunately we have not known how to take care of them.

It is sad to think that nature and the environment speak while mankind does not listen. This photograph was taken by Ralph Pace and originally appeared on bioGraphic, an online magazine on science and sustainability. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, single-use plastics production has increased exponentially, driven in large part by the growing need for epidemiologically necessary but ecologically devastating personal protective equipment. According to one study, 129 billion masks and 65 billion gloves were used worldwide each month during the pandemic, with up to 75% likely to end up in landfills or the ocean.

The story behind the photograph encompasses a problem that affects animals such as birds, fish, marine mammals and other animals where they can mistake this personal protective equipment for food.

My favorite Food!

                                                           NOODLES WITH SAUCE 👌

I write this post in honor of this delicious and exquisite food. To be honest I like all kinds of food that doesn't have meat, so it's difficult for me choose only one.

It's ingredients are: - 1 package of noodles.

And for the sauce: - Mushrooms , - Tomato , - Oil , - Onion , - Peppers , - Carrot, - And the most important ingredient... Cheese 😜

I really like this food beacause is so easy and fast to make, it's very nutritious and tasty. It also reminds me of a time in my life where I enjoyed eating pasta every weekend with my best friend after work.

Finally, is an excellent meal for the week. It's high energy value makes it an ideal food for people who perform high physical activity. In addition, hydrates are slowly absorbed so energy is released little by little. Likewise, the fiber content of the pasta helps regulate intestinal transit and combat constipation problems.

My Favorite Piece of Technology 📱📱

Hi everybody! my favourite device is cellphone. of course, because its functional, and you can use it in so many apps and porpuse. It's uses are very versatile, from watching a movie to listening music for hours, or even reading interesting texts, among others.

In this piece of technology, you can downdload differents type of apps also you can upload your favorite picture and moments or just an opinion in differents social medials, as long as you have internet access.

The cellphone is a device that you must be carefull, because this electronic device it's too demanding for you, and you use too much of your time on it , so we need to use it carefully in order to avoid some types of disorders that in the long term can affect our vision or our sleep.

I love this picture jaja. At some point we are slaves to cell phones.

Why Did I choose my Major 🌱🌱

I used to dream with being a florist as a child. When i was a child, sometimes my grandmother took me to a beautiful greenhouse, to buy flowers and plants for our house. That greenhouse was so cool,  i always imagined  working in that place.

When I was 17 I had the opportunity to travel to the south of Chile and contemplate the beauty of the forests, that moment was important because I made the decision to study something that would allow me to contribute to the conservation and preservation of those ecosystems. 

At the moment of applying to University of Chile, I had 3 options. The first was forestry engineering, then Renewable Natural Resources sciences and my last option was agronomy. 2019 was my first year at university as a student of forest engineering. Undoubtedly during that year, I verified that I made the right decision. I dedicated myself to learn everything I could, I made really good university classmates, the campus has beautiful spots, the academics have a lot of knowledge that must be taken advantage of.

In the future I would like to work on different projects, environmental impact studies or maybe something related to wildlife. Personally I have some dreams after finishing my degree, but if I tell you about them they may not come true, so the only thing I’ll tell you is that I want to travel a lot.

Byeeee my people, peace and blessings 💚

About me (:

Welcome Bloggers 💚

Hellooo (: My name is Sofia Crespo, im 21 years old and I live with my parents and my brother in Santiago Maipú. 

I am a vegetarian because i love animals. The most beautiful thing about this choice is that you don't use another life to nourish yourself or take advantage of the weak ones for your own benefit. In the future I hope to be more aware about the things I consume and use in my daily life.

Im a girl with thougts, experiences and dreams. Actually I am studyng forest sciences at University of Chile, i love my degree but virtual life is very exhausting :(. So i wish the pandemic was over.

In my free time I usually go out to ride a bike for a long time, I have a guilty pleasure that I love to watch "epoch's" series in british english so if you also like these series I recommend you watch Outlander, it's on Netflix.

I have a beautiful cat, calld Nina, its funny, always does the same routine and loves to sleep. It's currently on treatment because we discovered that is asthmatic.

                                                                                            

My cat Nina sleeping with open eyes jajaja and me. (:
