The secular problem of deforestation that suffered the Iberian Peninsula and the arguable failure of forest policies that attempted the reforestation of the woods, the modern State Forestry Administration tried to solve its impact on natural disasters through a new formula. This involved the introduction of the figure of «Monte Protector» by Act June 24, 1908 Conservation Forestry and Reforestation. This figure was finally introduced only in four provinces, including the province of Granada. This is a milestone of public and private spaces as objects of deforestation and what later on would mean the reforestation policies. This work analyses the policies of «Montes Protectores» in the province of Granada, its territorial impact and it's connection to natural hazards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
