The few attempts which have been in- 

 stituted for the improvement and protec- 

 tion of this forest have been offset by the 

 peasant rights to pasturage. This forest 

 is but a shadow of its former self, and the 



time is not far distant when it will be a 

 thing of the past unless there is soon a 

 change in the form of management.
