Creating laws to protect certain areas of forests is one way to stop rapid deforestation. These laws regulate how many trees can be cut down, where you can cut down trees, and how forests must be replanted after logging. In Romania, one of the laws passed to help combat deforestation is "Codul Silvic". Unfortunately, like in many counties, Romania has had weak enforcement of these laws, allowing for illegal logging to continue. even in protected areas. 

Sustainable consumption refers to consuming less paper, single use packaging, and using recycled wood products. Choosing digital alternatives to paper, reusing paper and furniture, and buying recycled paper products are all choices that help. By decreasing the demand for new product that's use wood, the need for the sourcing of wood will also decrease, resulting in less deforestation. These small choices can make a big impact, helping to protect Romania's valuable forests.
