From the Paper:

"Just a few years ago, in the late 1990s, it seemed that the mushrooming problem of deforestation was receiving wide media attention. High school children and university students, and conservation activists throughout Western many societies, including to a large extent, America, were receiving publicity while they conducted fundraisers and seminars to help "save the rainforests." Television news channels " along with other mass market media like the Internet, magazines print journalism, and film " covered the calamitous loss of forestland with regular reports. But there are urgent and more dramatic issues " such as terrorism, conventional war as part of the Bush Administration's search for so-called "weapons of mass destruction," and fears of biological attacks (anthrax, smallpox) " which have dominated the news since September 11, 2001."
