Selva is a coastal comarca (county) in Catalonia, located between the mountain range known as the Serralada Transversal or Puigsacalm and the Costa Brava (part of the Mediterranean coast). Unusually, it is divided between the provinces of Girona and Barcelona, with Fogars de la Selva being part of Barcelona province, and all other municipalities falling inside Girona province. Also unusually, its capital, Santa Coloma de Farners, is no longer among its larger municipalities, with the coastal towns of Blanes and Lloret de Mar having far surpassed it in size.

A nivel mundial las Selvas Húmedas Tropicales han sido destruidas a un ritmo promedio anual de 160 mil kilómetros cuadrados lo que equivale a 16 millones de hectáreas, superficie comparada a la de Gran Bretaña.
En América la destrucción de selvas tropicales se hace a un ritmo de 8 millones de hectáreas por año aproximadamente, esto es igual a 22 mil hectáreas diarias, más de 900 hectáreas por hora o más de 15 hectáreas por minuto equivalente a 40 campos de fútbol.
La destrucción de los bosques y selvas con propósitos de tener áreas para cultivo y ganado, asentamientos urbanos, así como la extracción de maderas para el abastecimiento de industrias, la extracción de minerales, de petróleo, vías de comunicación y presas contribuyen a su desaparición.
