Dear Mark,
Thanks for sharing your essay which I read with interest. I definitely share
your loss, I am in favour of sustainable forest management but clear-cut is not
that and is horrendous. It is amazing that supposedly intellectual societies
still do this.
Every two years my organisation publishes the WWF Living Planet Report which
examines and analyses the consequences of such impacts. It can be downloaded at
the link below and by clicking around you can find some interesting interactive
graphics (and even a live radio interview I did at the Asia launch - if anyone
suffers from insomnia !).

I don't want to take us too far off topic so folks can contact me off line with
any enquiries.
