Well, when rich countries log their ancient forests …

February 10, 2009

… is there any hope for the forests of less wealthy countries?

I am following rainforest conservation campaigns led by Rainforest Portal, and they have just sent us details of how the government of Finland is allowing the logging of old-growth forests.

I always had high respect for Nordic countries (and still do!) but this really gets on my nerves.

Not that Finland is so poor that it HAS to do it to keep their people fed! It’s a complete hypocrisy.

I really have no words for this situation.

Please go to Rainforest Portal and sign up for their campaigns as well.

Thanks in advance!
