Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Moto: "The world of protected areas is the most important inheritance we can leave to future generations: ensuring and continuing access to nature, to the material and spiritual values that it holds (...). A world lacking protected areas, stripped of wild natural sites, would become an extremely poor environment" [1]. The paper presents the impact of human activities on the natural components of the landscapes protected by agriculture, forestry, tourism, transport and industry. The majority of modern farming practices have proven to be harmful to nature and landscapes. Numerous rare habitats have been destroyed, especially by draining wetlands and irrigating arid areas to increase productivity. Another economic activity that can cause large damage to protected areas and benefits, is tourism. Tourism has facilities that degrade natural landscapes and are particularly strong while another activity such as transport has an increasing impact on protected areas: noise, air pollution, congestion and road construction itself. Industry has four sectors with a special impact on protected areas, such as: energy industry; manufacturing industry; extractive industry; small-scale craft industry.
