The Timber Industry in Anita Garibaldi - SC

The current socio-spatial configuration of the municipality of Anita Garibaldi (SC) is the result of historically constructed factors. The process of human occupation represented a major transformation for the region intensifying the devastation of the Seasonal Deciduous Forest (FED) and the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (FOM) - forest with araucarias. This book analyzes the historical and socio-environmental aspects of the timber industry in the municipality of Anita Garibaldi in the 20th century from the theoretical-methodological perspective of Environmental History. Knowing the historical aspects of the devastation of the Araucaria forest and hardwood species allows us to recognize the need for a more sustainable interaction with nature so that reflection can lead to its appreciation and preservation.
