Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer discusses that forestry resources in Canada exist in great abundance but are poorly managed and should be exported in quantity. The writer maintains that while forest resources are abundant, they also are regarded as a renewable resource and have been exploited. The writer discusses that currently, the attitude to forestry is to consider human needs in the short-term with no concern for the natural balance.

From the Paper:

"Almost one-half of Canada's surface area is comprised of forests, which provide one-fifth of the global demand for timber (Mitchell 267). While forest resources are abundant, they also are regarded as a renewable resource and have been exploited. Renewable was interpreted as inexhaustible so that forests were exploited intensively without concern for renewal potential. Abundance is a relative term, and forest resources cannot be available indefinitely unless the methods used to harvest them are radically altered."
