As a consequence of the depletion of Alpine forests, ……….
Forests are the lifeguards of the snowy peaks of the Alps. They provide a natural barrier against avalanches and landslips, but the skiing industry, which proved a boon for poor Alpine farmers, is damaging the environment. Forests have been felled to make way for more ski runs, car parks and hotels, and Alpine meadows have been abandoned by farmers keen to exploit tourism. Consequently, the avalanche has now become a common phenomenon. Forestry experts estimate that two thirds of several thousand avalanches that descend into inhabited parts each year are the result of forest depletion.
