Battle for the threes

Battle for the trees

Canada’s forests are being cut down and its eco system ruined bit by bit. This text it’s about deforestation and clear-cutting in British Columbia. The source of this information comes from a video and an outline about clear-cutting in British Columbia.
My position about clear-cutting is that I am against it. The current situation is critical; there is just 1/3 of the original temperate rainforest left in British Columbia, the B.C government allows clear-cutting, and 90% of the logging in B.C is clear-cutting. In 1998 the Federal government changed the structure of the logging licenses, the new limit for license length is now 3 years, is limited per hectare. The federal government expected all B.C old growth forests to be gone by 2008, but now they expect it to disappear by 2015. The loggers are not happy, they do that as a job not because they really want to, they do it because of a certain family tradition, they are against clear-cutting but they are still considered the bad guys. Clear-cutting have cut about 7 types of trees but they are replanting just 2 or 3 that are the ones that give them more money and that grows fast so they can cut more trees in less time, in about 50 years they will cut it all again. The position of Kyuquot is against it too because clear-cutting is ruining their main river. There is a conflict faced there by the loggers of Fletcher Challenge, is that they can’t talk to the person in charge to tell their opinions because the company is in New Zeland.
3 arguments for the clear-cutting: We get more things made of wood, more money for the economy, we can build more things and more people have jobs.
3 arguments against clear-cutting: Wildlife is ruined, less trees for doing photosynthesis so less pure air, soil and rivers are ruined and human being existence is getting shorter.
I am totally against clear-cutting because I know that someday we won’t have this big forests we have now, the wildlife, rivers and even
