Should governments prohibit logging?

Industry cannot be expected to aid in the conservation of forests. The singular aim of logging companies is to increase shareholder profits. Conservation necessarily costs these companies time and money, and where possible they will negotiate for the widest leverage to log, even in protected forests. In Headwaters, changes to the conservation agreement can be made through a peer-review panel, but the panel is controlled by Pacific Lumber and the government is unlikely to appeal panel decisions.
