    Forestry is a primary profession that obtains raw materials directly from nature, like mining and farming. Forest areas consist of land dominated by trees. There are two main types of forests: protective forests which are always natural and cover 1/3 of forest land, and production forests which cover 2/3 of land and are often plantations spaced in rows for commercial use. Forests are important because they reduce air and soil pollution, provide habitat for wildlife, prevent soil erosion, regulate water supply, provide employment, attract tourism, and have products used in industries.
