RE: The state does not govern forests, they manage them ... badly
I'm guessing that harvesting a mixed forest isn't as easy as one which only had one type of tree. So growing each of The sources separately will be entirely about the bottom line.
Try to explain that everything is connected and that destroying ecosystems will eventually come back to harm us just gets you viewed as airy fairy or a darn hippy, even though the effects are now more apparent. Sadly, our toxic bodies, caused by this sort of thing, are brushed off as other illnesses and the truth is swept under the carpet.

Based on my experience managing our wood lot, I would say that it is not easy, but necessary!! I agree with you. What happens to the forest will happen to us. Our connection to Mother Earth is intimate and direct. The effects are showing already and their management is making matters worse. I weep knowing that they may not ever "see" these connections.
