Review : Pulp friction

The world’s forests are being turned to pulp. Natural forests are being
replaced by industrial plantations: pine marches across Scotland, eucalyptus and
acacia throttle the tropics. As forester Ricardo Carrere and environmentalist
Larry Lohmann argue in Pulping the South (Zed Books, £14.95, ISBN 1 85649
438 1), the process may make money for some, but is wrecking the lives of
millions.
