Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how the traditional capitalist perspective on forestry practices has been that Canada's forests comprise a renewable resource and therefore could be used in unlimited quantities; the forest was viewed as being able to renew its wood stock of itself while a high level of production could also be maintained.
