Los Bosques Urbanos
Se imagina vivir en un lugar sin árboles,
sin parques o vegetación. Nuestro hábitat sería
desolador, la contaminación dominaría el mundo y
habríamos perdido gran parte de la calidad de vida que
diariamente disfrutamos.
La vegetación ayuda, sin duda, a aumentar
el nivel estético de nuestro entorno. Plantar y
reforestar árboles no solo contribuye a aumentar la
plusvalía de nuestros vecindarios, sino que también son
espacios de reunión, para que niños y adultos puedan
descansar, relajarse y divertirse.
A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad
y en distintas civilizaciones, los árboles y los parques
han simbolizado el crecimiento de la sociedad y de la
familia; son parte de los recuerdos y también son
testigos del desarrollo de un pueblo. Los temas
siguientes le invitarán a aprender un poco sobre los
árboles, los beneficios de los parques en nuestras
ciudades y el impacto que tienen los parques o bosques
urbanos en las comunidades.
