The “almost all” caveat is what bothers me.
And whilst I don’t doubt that FSC, PEFC, CIFOR, IUFRO etc etc all try to do their very best and are to be congratulated, forestry has a history of ripping up indigenous virgin forest to enable them to then plant sustainable trees.
Very much like the Orangutan’s natural habitat is being grubbed up to grow Palm Oil Trees.
