The data presented represent the total production of firewood obtained from<br />

native and planted forests. The amount of firewood used to make vegetal coal<br />

has been excluded from firewood production. The data referring to native forests<br />

is underestimated due to problems with irregular activities common to the<br />

extraction sector.<br />
