Description[?]:
| The nation shall operate a national forestry body and all future logging shall be under licence only. Licence will be granted only if: 1-There is no great damage to the proposed area (i.e. area is not regarded as that of habitat of endangered animals, it is not of scientific importance or that deforestation could cause geological damage such as land slides or soil erosion to the surrounding area)* 2-The company is willing to replant at replacement level (Provided area does not fall under section 1) 3-The area is needing cleared for government approved building projects. The national logging company will have to meet the same criteria as private firms and where a better financial deal is offered the government must grant licence to the private company. *The government has the right to overrule section 1 if the land is needed through eminent domain (section 3) as cases of eminent domain take precedent as they have already been declared as being for the greater good. |

| Message | Pretty straightforward, government ensures sensible logging procedure and in areas where it may be cost prohibitive but still with a need to be cleared then the government will perform its own lumberjack industry. |
