WHICH INFLUENCE HAS DEFORESTATION ON TOURISTIC RECREATIONAL AREAS IN SUCEAVA COUNTY?

Ana-Maria Ciobotaru

Deforestation is the problem that affects forest ecosystems and indirectly influences the other components of the geographical system. Degradation of forests is a continuous process that destroys more and more the biodiversity of the Carpathian environment in Romania, but also a series of recreational services. Overexploitation of wood resources, climate changes, and the construction of new roads are important causes of deforestation. In this article, I wanted to analyse the connection between deforested areas and tourist recreational areas in Suceava county. The results of the research reveal the fact that with the increase of deforested areas in the Carpathian Mountains, there is also instability in the touristic recreational areas.

Keywords: environment, sustainability, recreational activities
