Suppose illegal activities like logging and mining, and insufficient protection for the Sierra Madre, persist. In that case, we will likely see not only progressively detrimental environmental effects, such as the increasing severity of mild climatic phenomena like typhoons, floods, landslides, and extended droughts, as well as the extinction of many endemic species, resulting in a drastic loss of biodiversity.  Conversely, positive actions can obviously create a better possibility here!  For one, creating stricter environmental legislation, raising public awareness, and stimulating eco-tourism, which local communities create sustainable livelihoods. As we move forward with advances in sustainable forestry and technology related to monitoring and protection, we might still save the Sierra Madre for the future.
