Dear Mr. Huizinga, From the WWF-NL's Dutch language summary (no full report was ever provided, promises notwithstanding) of the CCT report on Flor y Fauna plantations I understand the following: 1. The plantations are located in a "Wet Atmospheric Association". Dry periods cannot be relied upon to occur, even for years on end. 2. Literature on teak demonstrates a dry period is favorable to its timber quality. 3. To reach low-end of projected rates of return, world records on teak yield are reuired. 4. Soil depletion is a concern, certification notwithstanding. To the best of my knowledge, no information was ever given to potential investors on points 1-4. To the best of my knowledge, points 1-4 constitute the core of my statements in the NOVA broadcast. Yours sincerely, Paul Romeijn
