The structure and species composition of natural forests is currently inadequate, as a consequence of the management and exploitation to which they have been subjected; there are problems with the organization of the seed activity, which affect its production levels and the quality of the product; compliance with key indicators in the progress of reforestation processes (selection of species, survival and achievement of the plantation) is limited and there is inadequate management of certain species that were and are being used in reforestation in sites or environments that do not they must be located. For the 2011-2015 period, in addition to addressing the problems mentioned above, it will require a significant effort to raise the country&#39;s forest cover to 29.4% of the national territory, including reforestation in hydroregulatory strips, as well as updating forest management and forest management plans in the areas that require it. Forest and rural fires, together with the uncontrolled extraction of forest resources, continue to be the main causes of the effects on the country&#39;s forests. The historical behavior of fires reveals that between February and May are the most dangerous months for the occurrence of forest fires, with 98% occurring in natural forests. The causes are of multifactorial origin and are associated, in a high percentage, with human actions (95.3%).
