Misiones | Train control personnel to identify wood and combat illegal logging
In an effort to reinforce environmental controls and prevent illegal traffic of forest products, technical training was developed on recognition of native and exotic woods of commercial value, in the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the National University of Misiones (UNAM), in Eldorado.
The workshop brought together technical personnel from the Forest Directorate of the Ministry of Ecology and Renewable Resources, as well as members of the Misiones Police - Directorate of Environment and Rural Crimes - and National Gendarmerie, who perform key functions in environmental control tasks. The activity had a practical approach, focused on the anatomical recognition of wood by means of visible characteristics to the naked eye or with a magnifying glass Rollizos, trozas and processed products. This tool is essential to verify the legality in the transport, use and marketing of forest resources. We bind concrete tools so that agents can detect irregularities immediately in the control operations, improving efficiency in the inspection, they indicated from the organization. The initiative is framed within the institutional strengthening plan of the Ministry of Ecology, which seeks to optimize the control mechanisms. The sustainable and legal use of natural resources in the province. With this training, Misiones advances in the development of technical capacities to protect their forests and combat illegal deforestation, reaffirming its commitment to the conservation of biodiversity and legality in the forest chain.

An inverted forest of millions of trees has held Venice for more than 1600 years
It is an millenary engineering work. For more than 1,600 years, Venice remains firm thanks to a unique foundation system in the world. These are millions of wooden posts stuck with the tip down in the muddy background of the lagoon. This base, which looks like an inverted forest, is composed of aler, oak, aliso, pine, fir and elmo. Thanks to this millenary engineering work, the city was officially founded on March 25, 421. Taking advantage of the laws of physics, monumental buildings have been built on land that seemed unstable. Only Rialtos bridge rests on 14,000 piles, while the Basilica of San Marcos sits over 10,000 oaks. No one knows how many wooden posts there are in total under the entire city, but the Venetian foundations have more than 16 centuries fulfilling their function, unlike modern materials such as concrete or steel, which have a projected life of 50 years on average as according to Alexander Puzrin, professor of geomechanics and geosystem engineering at the Federal Polytechnic University of Zúric.
