Can you help me with a Spanish translation for:
This must be avoided if the European sector is to meet the challenge of quality and competitiveness in the future. On a broader perspective, Parliament should be aware of the serious threat to the world's tropical forests, which are diminishing by 15 million hectares annually. Not sufficient research is being done on the growing of tropical hardwoods.
In this regard, we should be aware of the work of the European Forest Institute and its encouragement and research into the planting of new tropical forests.
If we are to address the need for sustainability, we must tackle these problems very early on.

Esto debe evitarse si queremos que el sector europeo afronte el reto de la calidad y la competencia en el futuro. Desde una perspectiva más amplia, el Parlamento debe ser consciente de la seria amenaza que se cierne sobre los bosques tropicales del mundo, cuya extensión disminuye a razón de 15 millones de hectáreas al año. A este respecto, debemos tener presente el trabajo del Instituto Forestal Europeo, su compromiso y su investigación en la plantación de nuevos bosques tropicales.
Si tenemos que abordar la necesidad de la sostenibilidad, debemos afrontar estos problemas lo más pronto posible.
