To prevent the worse condition, I should learn about how we could use the minimum space to fulfill our needs for the ecosystem services. Joining Uforest Project would be helping my country to face that condition. I could adopt the things that I have learned in here and combine it with my environment circumstances. and also this will give me a chance to implementing what I have learned before as a silviculture student.
