If the destruction of these primeval forests continues at the current pace, they will have vanished down to the last tree in under a century. Slash-and-burn land clearance and subsequent soil erosion through inappropriate farming techniques are the main cause, responsible for 80% of the ravages. In addition, there are housing schemes and large-scale energy projects. Not least of all, however, the wood industry bears a share of the responsibility. “The international wood industry is playing an ever-increasing role here, and in many regions is already the number-one cause of destruction”, according to a statement issued by Greenpeace.
We ourselves see no point in participating in the FSC hallmark programme, as it would mean falling short of our own ecological standards and supporting organisations which promote worldwide trade in tropical woods in an irresponsible manner. Whether it’s for making furniture, flooring, or sport sledges, no application justifies the use of trees from virgin forests. In any case, native wood offers a complete solution.
