Description: For over 20 years, the shrinkage of the world’s tropical forests has been at the forefront of environmental concerns. Yet the forests continue to be cleared. The key word is ‘cleared’ for — as the film finds — while commercial logging contributes to deforestation in the tropics, terms like ‘destruction’ and ‘devastation’ are too simple. Forests have always been used by local people. Stories from Peruand Indonesia show how forest ‘farmers’ ingeniously imitate the natural productivity of the rainforest. In Uganda, agro-forestry techniques are helping to keep a watershed reserve intact. Guyana’s president argues that timber concessions have been made to Asian companies to pay off Guyana’s huge national debt.
