Roadbuilding simply paves the way for logging, mining and other kinds of resource extraction, ... Far too much of our national forests have been trammeled and overlogged because of the maze of logging roads that have been bulldozed over the years by timber companies. That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. Roadbuilding simply paves the way for logging, mining and other kinds of resource extraction, ... Far too much of our national forests have been trammeled and overlogged because of the maze of logging roads that have been bulldozed over the years by timber companies.

[The administration's move puts at risk] some of the last, most pristine portions of America's national forests, ... Road building simply paves the way for logging, mining and other kinds of resource extraction.

Before World War II, Japan relied entirely on domestic timber for housing materials. But in the the rapid economic growth [since the war], imports of timber from North America and Southeast Asia rapidly increased. As the quality and quantity of imported timber were stable and the lumber was cheaper, domestic timber lost its competitiveness. Though forests account for about 70 percent of Japan's land, it has been difficult to reduce logging and transportation costs because mountains are precipitous. Sluggish sales of domestic timber are damaging forests.

A common sense alternative is to protect America's national forests from commercial logging by reinvesting the logging subsidies into economically viable programs, ... Rather then spending taxpayer dollars to degrade our national heritage, we should invest in programs for ecological restoration, adequate school funding, alternative fiber research, vocational training, and community economic development.

This wasn't a no-logging-versus-lots-of-logging kind of battle. It was people asking them to take some new, smarter approaches to logging. We're saying, do it smarter. Don't go into these places that shouldn't be logged, like right next to a salmon stream.

We expected to see large areas of logging. But the extent to which logging penetrates deep into the frontier is much more dramatic than we anticipated.

It's the logging that's at the core of the problem. We would not have this dramatic increase in bush meat death and destruction if it weren't for the commercial logging.

Illegal logging is driving dozens of birds and mammals to extinction. American corporations have the power to stop illegal logging by refusing to buy the wood; instead they are encouraging it. Shame on them.

Logging roads in Africa create a spider web in the forest. A vast network of roads now goes into previously remote and inaccessible rain-forest areas. That facilitates the movement of commercial hunters to transport meat.

Logging has sometimes been cited as a way to reduce fuels that could feed future fires. But not everything leaves on the log truck. We found that the process of logging in this type of situation actually produces a large amount of fine fuels on the ground that, unless removed, could increase fire risk, not decrease it.

When logging was reduced in the Pacific Northwest to protect the spotted owl, it shifted timber harvesting over to goshawk habitat. If we protect the goshawk as much as the spotted owl, there will be nowhere left for the timber industry to go. That is why they see the goshawk as a final battleground.

There are still people who want us to produce something, ... Sustainable timber harvesting, environmentally compliant mineral extraction. Mining is a net gainer in the tax situation.

We were also able to clear up a few minor bilateral issues regarding trade and some logging issues, ... There is some problem about logging at the border, trading at the border, border crossings et cetera.

[Although much of the downed timber is on private land, Odom is hoping to get federal approval to process much of it in sawmills. But the future of the wind-scoured forests] is my big concern, ... It'll take 30 years to replace most of those trees. Losing that resource hurts us bad.

No logging permits are given to this area, there is no transport system, not a single road. But clearly with time everything is a threat. In the next few decades there will be strong demands, especially if you think of the timber needs of nearby countries like China and Japan. They will be very hungry for logs.
