As a FOREST list member, I support the listowner's attempt to protect the
property rights of others. I know that property right laws are violated every
day in most countries throughout the world, but just because many (including us
foresters) do so, this does not make the practice ethical.

The world population is expected to double by the year 2100.
Therefore the annual demand for wood for energy (etc.)
will increase and might double (to more than 7 billion m3/yr). To
provide plantation wood for people in the future,
support the planting of trees on pastureland.
Set a goal of converting 8 million ha of pastureland/yr for the next
55 years. This would increase tree plantations to about 5% of the
world's landbase.
