Forestry areas in south-central and central Chile are mainly distributed on the Chilean Coast Range and the Andean foothills and valleys leaving most of the Chilean Central Valley for other economic activities mainly cattle farming and agriculture. South of Chacao Channel and Reloncaví Fjord forestry is more limited due to dry conditions in transandean portions of Chile, little development of infrastructure and large areas being protected as reserves, national parks and private parks. ==See also== *Native Forest Law *Celulosa Arauco y Constitución *Mapuche conflict 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forestry in Chile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
