Like you point out, forests are still dwindling on a global scale, all that's happening is that multi-national companies are moving the clear-cutting to poorer countries rather than richer ones. The paper actually shows that while tree stock has increased in all high-GDP/capita countries, it has decreased in the majority of poorer countries. From a nationalistic point of view, it's been great that activism has been succesful and we now have great quality of life and high environmental protection in countries like Canada. From a global point of view, the tragedy is that activist movements like environtmentalism haven't really changed anything, since they only exist and affect government actions in rich countries. The result has been that multi-national corporations quietly move operations like manufacturing and resource harvesting etc., to the most unstable and impoverished countries where they can get away with whatever environmental or human rights crimes they want. I guess the bottom line is that we need to avoid being lulled into a false sense of security when we see things getting better within our own country and remember that in today's world and increasingly in the future conservation and protectionism will only be effective through a concerted, global effort. Global initiatives like the Kyoto accord are great but only if they are truly global, otherwise they just become a tool for rich countries to economically exploit and resource-deplete the poor. Kind of like the Conservative government is doing right now, staying in the talks and sabotaging anything that might actually be environementally productive.......Baymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436172198266062229noreply@blogger.com
