 RTH> I would like to be able to answer your questions, but I am not the one
 who wrote this posting.  I got it off of a WWF listserver, I think it is
 called the PANDA listserver.  The author of the message is Francis Sullivan,
but I don't know who he is.  I forwarded the posting to the FOREST listserver
 because I thought it may be a topic of interest.

        Yes, such (forwarded) contributions make the list attractive.
        Its just that anybody is shouting very very loud something that is
        not all true, there are hunderds of echos who, (in contrast of you)
        forget about the source and make opinion and truth.


 RTH> I do happen to know a bit about the organizations that have been
 certified by FSC.  There is one in California, forget their name.  Their is
Smartwood run by the Rainforest Alliance and there is SGS in Great Britain.  I
 think the fourth is also British.  I believe it is a group that specializes
in
 certifying organically grown produce.

        I thought it was about saving tropical forests? Does still nobody
trust         institutions in these countries to do this job or even let them
               participate in this certification?

 RTH> Cheers,
        Yes I will drink a beer here to your health!


Bye, Philip.
