Does that picture show huge empty field were a forest was or sections of logged areas with large patches of trees between sections? It is not selective logging but it is also not a clear cut.

In the past you would see a similar cut block with select large trees kept in the empty areas but that practice was stopped years ago due to safety. The large trees left in the open had a high chance of being blown over.




It's a high altitude shot. There are large deforested areas, that's what the report is about. This clearly isn't an example of sustainable logging.


The area is not as large as you think and it will be replanted next year. What is sustainable logging to you? Not logging at all I would guess.
