Reprint of article from Today's Toronto Star April 20, 1999 Decline of forests called 'relentless' 'We cannot go on shaving the Earth,' chair says By Brian McAndrew Toronto Star Environment Reporter The planet's forests are disappearing at a frightening rate of 15 million hectares each year, the inaugural report of the World Commission on Forests says. ''We cannot go on shaving the Earth,'' commission co-chair Ola Ullsten, a former prime minister of Sweden, said in a telephone interview. The report, made public yesterday in Washington, D.C., follows three years of research and public hearings around the world. Nearly all of the yearly decline - 14 million hectares - comes from tropical rain forests, the commission found. Many countries in Asia, Africa and South America are affected. The 15 million hectare decline in the world's forests - an area equivalent in size to England and Wales - has happened every year since 1980, the report says. The rate at which forests are disappearing can be compared to razing an area the size of High Park every six minutes or clear-cutting Rouge Park, the largest urban park in North America, in three hours. ''The decline is relentless,'' the report says. ''We suspect it could change the very character of the planet and of the human enterprise within a few years unless we make some choices.'' The commission was formed after leaders in 30 countries, including former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, became alarmed about the state of the world's forests following the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. The report says: Original frontier forests have all but disappeared in 76 countries, and declined by at least 95 per cent in 11 countries. The planet's original forest cover of 6 billion hectares has been reduced to 3.6 billion hectares. Just 40 corporations control 115 million hectares of the world's prime forests. Biologists say the disappearing forests have created ''an extinction crisis unmatched in at least 65 million years,'' the report says. One-quarter of the world's plant and animal species could disappear in less than 50 years at a rate of about 130 species per day, the report warns. Already in the tropical regions, 15,000 species are becoming extinct each year because of the loss of forests from logging or cutting and burning to create farmland, the report says. Ullsten said there was no need to continue cutting down primary forests, those whose trees have stood for hundreds of years with little human interference. The world could satisfy its demand for wood by limiting logging to trees that have grown back in forests that were already cut or by creating tree plantations in tropical regions, he said. Fast-growing tree plantations would provide a big economic boost for developing countries in the tropics, Ullsten said. The commission recommends the creation of a Forest Trust, a citizens' group from all parts of the world to work toward solving the forest crisis. Ullsten said he would expect Canada to play an important leadership role because of the country's huge forestry industry. Canada has 245 million hectares of forests, third largest in the world behind the Russian Federation with 764 million hectares and Brazil with 551 million hectares, the report says. ''We are taking a political approach. We want to put pressure on governments,'' Ullsten said. ''This can't be done by just saying it once. We have to keep nagging.'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
