| Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, has
distanced himself from the environmental group he devoted much of his life to, because of
his belief that many environmental groups today are more interested in taking
ever-increasing extreme views to justify their existence, instead of working toward
consensus building in an effort to improve the environment. He has written
several books where he discusses the key issues confronting forest
management today. His books are based on sound science and not
emotion. This website provides many thought-provoking ideas for the person who
seeks to sustain forest ecosystems and provide wood products to the people of the world. |
