As I had posted in other posts, I just got back from Thailand. I want to share something with some of you. I went camping in the jungle when I was there and asked our guide why there wasnt a lot of large trees around. There were plenty of 6 inch trees to 20 inch trees and quite a few 30 inch stumps. Apparently, theft is the reason. It is illegal to cut trees in Thailand. So when were were camping at night we heard chainsaws and trees falling. It was sad. Burma used to have a jungle just like Thailand but now its a desert of stumps. These idiots dont understand how to properly rotate harvesting areas they just cut every thing down. They have nobody watch the areas to regulate these problems. I thought it was interesting how the US and Canada can keep growth and harvesting about the same and other countries tree population drops dramatically every year. I am all for saving the rain forest but they can do both (harvest and Cut)if someone taught them a little. Its like when the US goes to Etheopia and brings them grain to plant. The idiots eat the grain instead of planting it. I dont get it. I dont know a lot about the logging industry but what in general do loggers think about saving these type of areas. I see that the media portraits them as just wanting to cut everything in sight. I dont personally think its always like that. What is your side of the story. You never hear it. Thanks, Darin
I will post some pics of Thailands forest when I get a chance.
