They either abide by the law, or they close down.

The deforestation, the growth of human populations, needing more land.

Everywhere there has been constant extraction of mineral, killing animals, the logging timbers and so on.

They were from militia corp.

Mountains were deforested, stripped and leveled.

We had a vegetation cover of 85 , made up of native forest, which was made up mostly of nut and cupuaçu trees.

My childhood summers were in the Puget Sound of Washington, among the first growth and big growth.

There were a lot of them.

Somewhere in the Amazon forest is the marginal tree.

We're going to have to say, no more logging in the Amazon for 20 years.

like wild vegetables, mushrooms, and river fishes.

Now I actually think that these ideas will change the economics of deforestation.

They shoot everything, every single thing that moves that's bigger than a small rat they sun dry it or smoke it.

(Laughter)

Timbers!

lt's wood.

The flower bed was not quite bare.

Eighteen percent of our contribution to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide is the result of deforestation.

It's just wood.

like so many other creatures around the world, are losing their habitats.

A meat eater in this room will consume, on average, 8,000 animals in their lifetime.

You gave me some wood, now I'm gonna give you... some fuckin' wood!

The damage was so severe because the primary energy fuel in Haiti is charcoal, which is made from trees, which is made from trees, and it's left the country almost completely deforested.

If it burns in a forest fire, it's going to give that carbon back to the atmosphere as well.

I was raised in the forests of British Columbia to believe those forests existed to be cut.

When the farmers could not get to the woods and swamps with their teams, and were obliged to cut down the shade trees before their houses, and, when the crust was harder, cut off the trees in the swamps, ten feet from the ground, as it appeared the next spring.

Wood is the only major material building material

Much of it comes not only because of cutting, but also burning.

There are regulations that it's prohibited to do logging, mining and poaching, specifically.

And an example is the TACARE program.

It had occurred on land, in rainforests of South America and Africa, where landowners had been paid not to cut the trees down.

Because I don't just stand around,

So I decided that I had to come up with a solution for her but also a solution that will benefit the people that are trying to exploit those forests, to get their hands on the last timber and that are causing, in that way, the loss of habitat and all those victims.

If one member trespasses the agreement, and does cut down trees, the other 19 members have to decide what's going to happen to him.

We build cities, suburbs, and farms on top of frog habitat and chop forests and drain the wetlands that serve as home for numerous amphibian populations.

Canada abounds in timber.

We check the banks, in the timber, under rocks.

I make a living from it,

There are models for sustainable forestry that allow us to cut trees properly, and those are the only trees appropriate to use for these kinds of systems.

We're starting to harvest material from the specimen.

Biofuels are fuels that are grown.

Dry wood burns quickly.

You'll see scenes like this all over the island.

We made statues out of wood.

And the Chinese government responded sensibly and placed a ban on felling.
