Aware of the deterioration that man's activity and his undertakings cause to nature, we have intended to develop a forest project that may help to recuperate the environment in our community, and at the same time, enhance the environment and improve our people's life quality.

Considering these objectives and others added after consulting technicians and specialists in the subject, we have generated a forestry work plan at the Pancanta Valley, Province of San Luis.

Then, the premise was to plant trees and our motto is: "Planting trees generates life". Nothing better than a tree to represent life on Earth. They are the oldest living beings existing in our world, they have been present, together with other vegetables, since the earliest times, when the atmosphere was unbreathable for other beings. Plants, through photosynthesis ( a complex set of chemical processes) take energy from the sun, fix the carbon dioxide and create organic matter represented by wood, branches, leaves, fruit, seeds, essences, juices, etc. This same process not only withdraws carbon dioxide from the air, the same we generate when we breath, cook, heat ourselves, use our automobiles, machinery, tools, etc., but it also releases the indispensable oxygen for the planet life.

Trees are the assurance of mankind survival, and today, taking care of, and growing them, is a duty for all civilized peoples in the world.

Massive consumption of combustible fossil fuels such as carbon, oil, natural gas, are bringing to the atmosphere increasing quantities of carbon dioxide, the main responsible of the so feared "Greenhouse effect" which results in an increase of the Earth's temperature and its consequences. The solution will be then, the forest masses to capture it and this is the non assignable task of every community.

Thus, our project contemplates: a didactic consequence, an intention of enhancing the area, an improvement of the lanscape, the protection of the environment and an entrepreneur exercise upon accepting the challenge of standardizing it into a National Forestry Plan, struggle for its approval and benefit it with subsidies. In addition, raw materials for the timber industry and its industrial by-products will be generated, also originating work and wealth sources.

We have mentioned a didactic consequence, because it will be an example and a pattern to be imitated by producers and landowners who ignore or do not know about the benefits from plantations and we think that the same staff trained for executing works, will be the same that may cope with these works or divulge work methodologies.

Nobody doubts how beautiful sightseeing to Rama will be in a short time. Only this, would have justified this undertaking.
