I AGREE forests do indeed regenerate with the death of a few individual trees, and that cutting just three trees per acre might not seem very damaging, “When nature needs mankind’s help” by Eco Assist (The Star, May 26).
However, one issue with the heli-logging in Ulu Muda is not so much those three trees, but the 400km of roads that go with the logging exercise. Just one helicopter has been nominated for the logging of over 120,000ha, and it will carry logs no further than 1.5km to the nearest drop-off yard.
