Deforestation is driven by several causes, most of whichoriginate outside the forestry sector. Deforestation is theproduct of the interaction of many ecological, social,economic, cultural and political forces in a given region.

Many forest has been cleared for the construction of roads,settlements, utilities, electricity transmission networks,pipelines, hydroelectric dams and other infrastructure. Forindirect effects, building roads is the largest contributor todeforestation, has an immediate (deforestation) and

delayed impact (erosion, landslides). Productiveinfrastructure such as hydroelectric dams, tourist andindustrial complexes, and the expansion of urban areascause the total elimination of forest cover.

Between the legal documents,include governmental regulationson the use of property, andobligations that are created in theconstruction process.

Some legal requirements come fromconsiderations in itself, or the desireto prevent things that areindisputably bad (contracts). Aconstruction project is a complexnet of contracts and other legalobligations, each of which must becarefully considered.

In contracts clear expectationsand clear paths for establishingcompliance is much more likelythat the project flowingsmoothly, whereas poorlydrafted contracts can lead toconfusion and collapse.This type of confusion makesimpossible to continue with aproject so makes it difficult tocontinue making it lose a lot oftime waiting for a resolution(waste of time).
