Although it would be nice to protect every area of native forest I feel
that the foerst's/rainforest should be protected not only for their
aesthetic appeal, role in recycling, harbouring a bank of species etc but
also for their commercial uses, one which Donna suggested, obtaining
drugs and medicines. Donna say's 25% of our drugs come from plants yet
so far we have only named one fith or one tenth of all plants. Their is 
so much more potential out there.
	But not only can we use the drugs. Use of wood products is a 
vital part of our lives. I dont have a problem with 'sustainable' logging
but I still want some virgin forest left. We dont know what we are 
destroying and in 1995 it is still happening.
