In Italy:
The intervention on forests is interesting also by tourist and safety point of view. About tourism, the oak forests are typical local landscape, more appreciated than the artificial pine forests by the foreigner tourists (which are about the 50% of the local tourists). About the mountain safety, the natural oak forests are better in holding the slopes and in preventing landslides (e.g. De Capua et al., 2005) and they are really less dangerous for accidental fires (e.g. Regione Piemonte, 2011); this is well known by the local Mayors, as responsible for public safety.
