Illegal logging in Ecuador
SIR- Your article about illegal logging in Ecuador was spot on in its analysis of the groups trying to block reform but, in passing you perpetuates the fallacy that logging causes most deforestation (“Cut down”, November 1st). In fact, agricultural expansion, particularly the conversion of forests to pasture to raise cattle, is the principal cause of forest clearing in Ecuador and other tropical Latin American countries.

Bhs. Indonesia: Akhir-akhir ini media massa menerbitkan laporan mengenai program penghutanan kembali. Ini merupakan inisiatif yang patut dipuji.

Judul : Kemana Harus Melangkah? Masyarakat, Hutan, Dan Perumusan Kebijakan di Indonesia
Potret Kerumitan Pengelolaan Hutan
Bhs. Indonesia: Di banyak negara, gejala yang muncul keluar adalah penyelenggaraan negara yang buruk mengakibatkan kerusakan pada hutan dan lahan, dan tonggak dari ekspresi publik mengenai pemerintahan yang korup adalah pada perjuangan perimbangan akses ke sumberdaya alam.
English: In many countries the most visible symptom of bad governance has been the abuse of forests and land, and the lightning rod for expression of public dissatisfaction with corrupt governments has been the struggle for equity in access to natural resources. It was therefore no surprise to find Indonesia's nascent environmental organizations at the forefront of the barricades during these tumultuous days in May 1998 that led to the overthrow of the Soeharto regime.

Local Fires Require Global Solutions
(Bogor, Indonesia) As a US citizen working in Indonesia for an organization set up with considerable Australian assistance, I take an active interest in the stories about Australia that appear in the Indonesian media. Given the capricious nature of the Indonesia-Australian relationship you would expect these stories to focus on the countries’ political relations. But the stories cover the full spectrum of sport, politics, economics, the environment, culture, lifestyles and, as with media around the world, Australia’s latest movie stars. It goes to show how much importance Indonesians place on their nation’s relationship with Australia.

'Socialistic' operations hurt forests Canada underprices timber: report. Academic stresses access to resources, sustainability, rather than privatization
A report on the world's forests, presented yesterday during the World Forestry Congress in Quebec City, notes two-thirds of the global supply of industrial wood comes from 15 per cent of forested land that is intensely managed. And its authors, academics affiliated with the United Nations University, say Canada, which ranks third in the world after Russia and Brazil in forested area per capita, is underpricing its timber in forests that are 94-per-cent publicly-owned.

Scapegoats for Indonesia's timber problems
JAKARTA - In a further attempt to get Singapore and Malaysia to crack down on the illegal import of Indonesian logs, Forestry Minister M Prakosa is to visit both countries and China early next month for talks that seem futile from the start. Prakosa said Singapore remains uncooperative and has not responded to earlier requests that it stop receiving illegal logs. In a fine turn of phrase, he accused them of "timber laundering". After a hearing with House of Representatives Commission III for forestry and agriculture last week the minister said, "Singapore accepts the timber. The transit there is to launder the illegal timber."

What crimes spring to mind upon hearing the term "money laundering"? Drug trafficking, trafficking in women, smuggling, protection rackets? All of these, no doubt. But how many of us would think of "forest-related crimes"?. Fortunately, some of the more committed representatives in government are making the link between illegal forest practices and, under current laws, legal banking practices. More importantly, with proposed amendments to existing money laundering laws introduced in June to the House of Representatives, they are trying break the link.
