‘The faster the nineteenthcentury<br />

colonial practice of<br />

logging tropical rainforests<br />

can be eliminated forever, the<br />

better it will be for the people<br />

and wildlife of Central Africa.<br />

… Vast tracts of forest still<br />

remain relatively intact, which<br />

means that it is not too late<br />

to achieve significant<br />

conservation goals.’<br />
