The unchecked growth of human population coupled with increasing consumption and pollution will override our best attempts at forest management. This is already painfully obvious in many parts of the world. Foresters should treat population growth as seriously as they would a forest fire that threatens to destroy all that they have worked for. We can advocate sustainable population policies and still have a great love and admiration for people and their accomplishments. In fact working for a healthy, happy, sustainable future is the most compassionate, intelligent thing we can do. - Gerry Hawkes - ghawkes@sover.net - Woodstock, Vermont
