As you already know, the lockdown prevented many people from working, which drastically reduced their income and their purchasing capacity. However, the decrease in income has not diminished people's basic needs such as food, hygiene, housing and security.

In this way, many people have to look for alternative ways to meet these needs and many of these alternative ways have been established through environmental exploration, which depending on the intensity and in the long run can be very damaging to the nature and ecological balance of our country.
