La presentación de este trabajo es un aporte más a la lucha en favor del medio ambiente y los recursos naturales. Ha sido elaborado con mucho esfuerzo y dedicación para orientar sobre las funestas consecuencias del deterioro ambiental, esperando que se constituya en un manual o guía para las ejecutorias del estado dominicano y las autoridades vinculadas al sector. Es nuestro deseo que el contenido sea utilizado como material de consulta y también como posible libro de texto para la escuela forestal, jornadas educativas y las universidades que ofertan carreras afines.
